Impasse: Climate Change and the Limits of Progress will be published on August 5th.

Hilary Plum is the author of five books, including the poetry collection Excisions, the essay collection Hole Studies, and the Fence Modern Prize in Prose-winning novel Strawberry Fields. She teaches at Cleveland State University and in the NEOMFA program, and she serves as associate director of the CSU Poetry Center. Her work has appeared in Granta, Astra, The Rupture, Los Angeles Review of Books, Cleveland Review of Books, and elsewhere. She lives in Cleveland Heights.
Her latest book, State Champ, is a novel set in an abortion clinic post- Roe. ""An acrobatic, harrowing marathon of cut-to-the-quick prose, with a narrator who's ferocious, funny, and wise. State Champ churns with tremendous urgency that would be, and will be, vital in any era. Hilary Plum is a breathtaking talent." -- Henry Hoke, author of OPEN THROAT
