Leslie Blanco's "A Ravishing Sun" floored me with its vivid imagery and graceful movement through time. Otherwise, I found the collection somewhat monotonous, with slight peaks (Greg Jackson's "The Hollow," Karen Russell's "The Ghost Birds," Sanjena Sathian's "Mr. Ashok's Monument") and dips in quality but no real surprises.
