Stranged Writing: A Literary Taxonomy

Celebrate the launch of Stranged Writing: A Literary Taxonomy by The Gravity of the Thing.

The Gravity of the Thing celebrates the release of its first anthology, Stranged Writing: A Literary Taxonomy on October 13th. We warmly invite you to join us at The Stacks Coffeehouse in Portland, Oregon (6-7:30pm) to hear our contributors read their experimental prose, poetry, and cross-genre works from the collection. The event is free to attend, and food, drinks, and Stranged Writing will be available for purchase.


Stranged Writing is an anthology of defamiliarized creative writing curated according to biological taxonomy (species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, and domain) using word count. Each hardcover edition includes a screen-printed dust jacket that transforms into unique literary organisms or book sculptures, the goal being a dimensional and tactile reading experience during these largely digital times.
