Hannah is writing a poet’s novel about watching The L Word in Tucson, Arizona. To read an excerpt of this project, selected by Amina Cain as the runner-up for the Quarterly West 2022 prose contest, click here.
“I chose this piece for its satisfying narrative voice and structure, its sense of expansiveness, not unlike the desert landscape in which it takes place, and its movement. ‘If You Can Never Love It Enough’ is witty and wise and I like the questions it asks about writing.” – Amina Cain
