Synopsis

JR Fenn's Tiny Vessels contain expansive truths. Selected by Rita Bullwinkel as the winner of The Masters Review's 2024 Chapbook Open, the seventeen small fictions in Tiny Vessels hurtle backward and forward in time and space, all contemplating what it means to be human, to be alive and exist in our history, in our future. "To read these seventeen gem-like dispatches from a dreamlike world," writes George Saunders, "is to receive a lovely condensed version of what life on earth is like, and to be blessed with a feeling full of fondness and of longing for a kinder, more natural world."
