“ An immersive novel about the mythic, shapeshifting nature of intimacy and the patterns of violence that linger in the landscape of home and memory, all too often awaiting a single unwary step .” Morgan Thomas
Vernal Thaw traces the entangling and unraveling of a queer relationship through love and tumult over the course of a year in Vermont. While most texts about polyamorhttps explore what happens when a relationship opens up, Franky Cannon reverses this trope; monogamy is the experiment and a major source of anxiety for the narrator.
