"I do not want people to be very agreeable, it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal."
--Jane Austen
The poetry and short fiction of Leah Presser speaks slowly and tenderly of loss and tragedy. With a voice that seems quiet and self-assured, she explores the inevitability of death and all the attendant feelings of shame and hopelessness in the face of eternity. She considers the infinite through the eyes of ordinary characters; people with whom you'll easily identify, leaving you oddly comforted in the knowledge that others have the same fears you do.
