Spanning 300 pages, ORATIONS gathers a year of stories and poems drawn from the author’s near-daily writing practice on Substack. The pieces vary widely in length and form—some compressed to their bare materials, others sprawling, digressive, and unfiltered—reflecting the conditions under which they were written rather than a unified aesthetic plan.
