Y’all! My book launch for Welcome to Midland will be August 18th, 7:30PM at the Wild Detectives. I cannot wait to share the story of the book with y’all. We’ll be in the back yard at my favorite venue. It’s a free event, but you have to RSVP via Eventbrite. See you there!

Speaking of the Wild Detectives, Inner Moonlight never stops making magic. The legendary Texas Monthly had this to say about us: “Hosted by West Texas–bred Logen Cure (her latest collection, Welcome to Midland, is forthcoming from Dallas-based Deep Vellum in August), Inner Moonlight is at once sharp and soothing. Each episode consists of a dialogue between Cure and ‘one brilliant writer,’ and each generally opens with her asking her guest to ‘Tell me something good.’ The show is mindful of foregrounding writers of underrepresented ages, genders, and ethnicities, but also of various schools of form and rhythm. There’s something for a listener of any lyric persuasion to love.” Check out the rest of the article recommending us here!

Since I last updated about Inner Moonlight, we published this review of Robin Myrick’s book; I talked to the incomparable Paige Quiñones and Katy Dycus reviewed her book, The Best Prey; and Lauren Berry and I talked about horror, huge flowers, and her book The Rented Altar.

One last piece of good news! The Chicago Review of Books invited me to take over their Instagram to hype Welcome to Midland. I am so stoked and honored! Check it out on their Insta or mine—you find it all in my story highlights.

That’s it for now, but I’ll have more good news for y’all soon! Be good out there.
