Review of DREAMS UNDER GLASS in Barrelhouse

I’m honored by this gorgeous review of Dreams Under Glass by Amy Reardon in Barrelhouse. She writes:
”the novel delivers the reader into that lost-in-the-tunnel period of the creative process, that desperately empty space before the art reveals itself.” And:

Unfortunately, Binnie’s days—her subway commute, her day job, her new lover—all conspire to pull her away. Which brings us to the brilliance of this novel: the further Binnie drifts from her dioramas, the harder they pull at her from inside. The central conflict of the novel appears when Binnie reckons with that sizzling space between wanting to create and actually creating.

Read the whole, thoughtful review here.
