"26 Poses" is the award-winning opening story in UNKISS ME. 

The story appropriates the form of Bikram yoga to tell the tale of a woman's  long-term, troubled relationship with her partner. 

"26 Poses" was a prize-winner in the Atlantic Monthly Student Writing Contest, and also won an Oregon Fellowship prize.

The other six tales in UNKISS ME, many of which are prize winners, are republished from literary journals, and explore love in its many guises: the irrational, the obsessive, the sexy, the damned.

Hope you enjoy!

Here's a Smashwords review of the chapbook: "Suzy hits all the wickets that love can bring with it--death, disappointment, abandonment,and joy, among others." - Max AndrewAll Rights Reserved
