Pretty (Marie Alexander Poetry Series)

"There is always a roiling subtext beneath the seemingly placid surfaces and tones of Chinquee's pieces, a dichotomy which speaks to deep truths about the human condition. Kim Chinquee is a true artist with a true vision, and Pretty is a brilliant book."—Robert Olen Butler

"These brief snapshots of conversations manage to seem not like fragments of lost wholes but like vivid distillations of essential dramas, each a variation on the shared subject of thwarted intimacy."—Carl Dennis

Kim Chinquee lives in Buffalo, New York, where she teaches creative writing. Oh Baby is her first book of flash fiction.
