Oversoul: Stories and Essays

In this hybrid collection of short stories and essays, Mitchell S. Jackson reveals the gifted ear of a poet, a journalist’s unsentimental eye, and a willingness to indulge in candid introspect. From the title story “Oversoul” about the struggles of a recently released ex-con, to “Serial Killers: There are no alibis,” an essay that dissects a particular breed of womanizing male, Jackson’s prose examines the conflicts that arise in those that see their dreams beat back, realize the smallest of victories, and harbor a wavering faith in redemption. This collection introduces a remarkable new voice.
