hound triptych (Sundress publications, 2026)
Dani Janae’s Hound Triptych unfolds fiercely, like a mystery novella in verse. It’s a breathtaking pursuit in which women are complicated by razor sharp depictions and inexorable magical thinking. With inventive forms and piercing language, this intimate and unflinching book grapples with the heartbreak of a life lived and a mother imagined. It soars with a daughter's mythologies and reinventions. A magnificent debut.
