My Eyes Are Black Holes

Logan Ryan Smith writes unclassifiable fiction that fits somewhere in between dark fantasy, transgressive, and literary, all with a dark comedy underbelly and lyrical leaning. His other book of fiction, Enjoy Me (Transmission Press, 2015), is a collection of interconnected stories all told from the main character’s POV. Though focusing exclusively on fiction now, his poetry books include The Singers & The Notes (Dusie Press, 2007), Stupid Birds (Transmission Press, 2007), and, more recently, Bug House (Mission Cleaners Books, 2013)-a narrative series of poems that shares many of the same fantastical and thematic elements of his fiction. His stories have appeared in Hobart Journal, Meat for Tea: The Valley Review, and Great Lakes Review, which nominated his story ＂Bret Easton Ellis＂ for a Pushcart Prize. Logan currently lives in Chicago.
