10 yrs ago I wrote a poem re: the disposing of corpses (a fly, a pet, a great-uncle) called “Belly Up” but wow Rita Bullwinkel’s story collection by the same name is so brilliantly effed that I think I’ll just surrender the title entirely? Thx, @crowjonah for the spot-on rec. 🙏 https://t.co/ulDOCfFEZ2
