"One of the pleasures of a book like Stay is its ability (rather, its capacity) to surprise..That's the beautiful thing about a book like Stay: the juxtaposition, the play between art forms, and how it allows room for experience, opens up space to sit and feel." -Brock Kingsley, Chicago Review of Books "Personally, this book came to me when I needed it and detangled some of the loose threads balled up in my mind. This book is a self-portrait, a collaboration, and a piece of art. This book is essential." -Ali Hintz, Arkansas International "Over the course of a year, [Flynn] will have released three books...Stay feels like the glue that brings them all together."-Licia Morelli, Vanity Fair "Stay [is] a kaleidoscopic self-portrait that combines Massachusetts native Flynn's writing, photography, and collage with visual art from dozens of collaborators and influences and friends."-Kate Tuttle, The Boston Globe
