Hollis Seamon

Body Work: Stories (Spring Harbor Press, 2000)

Body Work is "a sexy, edgy collection of stories about women on the brink. There isn't a coward or a victim in the bunch." 
—Doug Glover, author of Bad News of the Heart, Elle, 16 Categories of Desire, The Life and Times of Captain N, and other books.

"Seamon's use of setting and description is masterly. Her love of language is obvious, and anyone who likes to see language used well and strikingly will re-read some passages in the book. No wonder her stories have been widely published, anthologized and awarded prizes." 
— Carole McDonnell in the online review Curled Up With a Good Book


"The lives of women and girls are unconventionally and richly explored in Body Work . . . keenly revealing the magical, uncanny and symbolic meanings in everyday life." 
—Publishers Weekly
