PRAISE FOR DEAR CJ:

“Dear CJ is a radical experiment in empathy, where identity and narrative voice are equally slippery concepts. Clinton Craig pushes the boundaries of page and form and does so with an astute literary voice. But make no mistake: this book is also a really pleasurable read, and the sentences hum with a playfulness that will make you want to sit down and write your own letter.”

—Sadie Hoagland, author of American Grief in Four Stages and Strange Children

“What the hell was Clinton Craig thinking? Truly, the audacity. Reading this book is like looking at a nightmare-boy version of me in the mirror, written by someone who's learned to love my alternate-universe self despite my best efforts. Where Clinton Craig found the emotional range to craft such a rich, compelling version of CJ is beyond me. Hopefully the publication of this chapbook means the letters will finally stop.”

—CJ Scruton


Clinton J. Craig is a Gemini.
