I met Dantiel at Hedgebrook and it was a pleasure to hear her talk about her process then, back in 2017. Similarly, it was a delight to read her words on the page in Milk Blood Heat, which glistens and crackles as the title suggests. The collection is especially triumphant at exploring the least convenient aspects of humanity - our selfishness, the ways we both love our beloveds and loathe them. In my head, I refer to some of the way these scenes are rendered as being cinematic. And because I read it on my device and not print, I can’t easily refer you to the stories. That is both good and bad, I think.
