In short-form journal entries, the narrator thinks intensely about death and writing, grappling with their similarities and the ways in which they both require digging: depth, strength, resilience.

“This journal I write, almost without wanting to, as dusk falls, doesn’t always paint a true picture of what’s happened to me. Rather, these are evocations of events, the memory of which passes its pen across my brow,” writes the narrator in Alexei Perry Cox’s To Garden: To Grave. In short-form journal entries, the narrator thinks intensely about death and writing, grappling with their similarities and the ways in which they both require digging: depth, strength, resilience. Perry Cox also explores themes of family, gender, imagination, memory, relationships, and dreams in this latest novella.
