The Consequences
What happens when we are left behind?
The Consequences is a hybrid collection of prose and poetry by Max Brett. It is an autofictional examination of the pain of a transatlantic relocation from New York to the blanketing beige of Paris to rejoin a totemic muse. The collection also focuses on corgi attacks, Maryland, painful anxiety, the struggle to accept the things one cannot change, the third party and the past as adamantine shackles. The "towering sexual iconography of Mike Immerman" looms over the disorientation of a reluctant resident in “the City of Light.”
The Consequences is designed by Espace Ness and published by Ness Books.

Nor Do These
Nor Do These came out of a tandem exercise that quickly shed participants. It aims to address a series of obsessions, including the eroticism of accountancy, honed corporate strategy, dangerous unicorn hunts, the lives, phobias and phobia-related injuries of arguably obscure baseball players, and age and aging, among other things. It is Max Brett’s first book.
Nor Do These is currently sold out.
