Andrew Collard, Charlene Stegman Moskal

Andrew Collard is the author of Sprawl, a reconstruction of the constantly shifting landscape of metropolitan Detroit from the perspective of a single parent raising a young child amid financial precarity. Part memoir, part invention, the book is Andrew Collard’s attempt to reconcile the tenderness and sense of purpose found in the parent-child relationship with ongoing societal crises in the empire of the automobile.

Charlene Stegman Moskal is the author of poetry chapbook Leavings From My Table, which shares the aftermath that attends the departure of loved ones, containing poems that speak to memory as well as those that address the immediacy of grief and the affirmation that love is resilient, precious, brave and permanent.
