KATE GALE reads from GOLDILOCKS ZONE

Goldilocks Zone (University of New Mexico Press)

Goldilocks Zone explores the inventions of bridges, condoms, fireworks, and glass weaved into the stories of creative people teetering on the brink of disaster. But those lives are also immersed in light, love, joy, and madness, all the elements of a rich and wild inventive life.
