Frame Inside a Frame by Daniel Lassell explores the boundaries, overlaps, and portals of memory and seeking. Lassell's collection is wildly surprising at every turn, greeting readers with visceral childhood memories, gritty landscapes of climate collapse, a quirky neighbor transfixed on love, a sexual predator who breaks into homes, a bat that disrupts sleep, a llama that bites off a man's ear, a dog that eats the family's Thanksgiving turkey, farmers condemning their machinery to rot in fields, a cow carcass that washes up on a city's waterfront park, a hooligan feeding possums trash, and pollen everywhere. Taken together, Frame Inside a Frame is a constellation eyed toward the exploration of distance and meanings inherent within distance and proximity.
