An Inventory of Abandoned Things by Kelly Jacobson
In Kelly Ann Jacobson's An Inventory of Abandoned Things, winner of the 2020 Split/Lip Press Fiction Chapbook Contest, there are cockroaches in the walls and anoles trapped in the doors. Squirrels roll across the attic rafters, and red ants patrol the car floor. A lazy gopher tortoise chews lettuce in the neighbor's butterfly garden. At once the story of a pregnant graduate student separated from her wife and an inventory of the Florida panhandle, this book of linked stories questions what it means to fight the land for a place in it-and whether, in the fighting, there can be a bond between human and landscape formed that is stronger than love.
Kelly Ann Jacobson is the author or editor of many published books, including novels such as Cairo in White, the poetry collection I Have Conversations with You in My Dreams, and anthologies such as Dear Robot: An Anthology of Epistolary Science Fiction. She also writes young adult fantasy novels under her pen name, Annabelle Jay. Kelly received her MA in Fiction at Johns Hopkins University and is now working toward her PhD in Fiction at Florida State University. Her work-including short stories published in such places as Northern Virginia Review and Iron Horse Literary Review-can be found at www.kellyannjacobson.com or www.annabellejay.com.
