David F. Hoenigman is one of those writers who teaches the readers, as we go along, how to read him. I like the obsessive quality of the writing and the way certain images or sentences seem to burst out of the background with a kind of eerie, insistent resonance. It's like the emotional equivalent of the sensation of a phantom limb. - Dawn Raffel, author of Carrying the Body

On every page--every page--of Hoenigman's new Burn Your Belongings, the obsession begins again: a woman and two men. Stopped time without pity, complete with the irony of argument: no one wins. A perfect rondel. - Terese Svoboda, author Black Glasses Like Clark Kent

And oh yes--there's another fine talent I forgot to mention. He's based in Japan and has written a fascinating book called Burn Your Belongings. I hear he's also working on a manuscript for us! - Jesse Glass, author of The Passion of Phineas Gage & Selected Poems and founder of Ahadada Books

I truly enjoyed Burn Your Belongings. Twas viscous! Yes, I mean viscous, like molasses. A compliment, as I like fiction that so thoroughly enters my consciousness that the skin feels sweaty with it. - Debra Di Blasi, author of The Jiri Chronicles & Other Fictions

Hoenigman's terse, staccato prose is the language of consciousness, and his book not so much anti-narrative as true to the realities of one's inner sense-making, true to the convoluted and seemingly disparate tales we tell ourselves. In short, Burn Your Belongings is a well-crafted and adventurous book from what is undoubtedly a writer of great promise. - Gary J. Shipley, Word Riot

What I can't believe and am impressed by is the sensuous detail and depth with which Hoenigman navigates the relationship. - Richard Gilbert, author of Poems of Consciousness

Burn Your Belongings is a fascinating and raucous debut, but one bound to polarise readers. Mark my words, this is destined for cult success. - Alex Martin, Outsider Writers Collective

It reminds me a bit of Michael Gira or some scary kind of German death metal band or something. - Kevin Sampsell, editor and publisher of Future Tense Books
