Yenser has written a fantastic book. These lives glitter in the darkness like fragments of broken glass, a mirror shattered in the back room of a dive bar: thereís a face, a hand, a heart, a history. Gorgeous.--Monica Drake, author of The Folly of Loving Life Reading Becca Yenserís new chapbook, THE GRIEF LOTTERY, is like looking down into a trash-strewn alley and finding the glitters of hope and joy in the mere act of living. These characters won't meet you with an apology, but they'll invite you into a moment of euphoria that burns out quicker than a sparkler on the fourth of July. Yenser's truths are hard-edged and dangerous as the reader tunnels deeper into the lives of the disheartened. Don't be surprised if you're cracked wide open, reassembled, and disarranged. Unsettled, but deliciously so.
