Philip James Shaw’s collection of prayers to stillborn-pasts and never-futures sings alive what could have been. Containing ten previously published ‘prepositions’, and one final unpublished prayer, available for the first time in one pocket-sized compendium, here is a complete lyric as the author intended.
Includes the Fugue Prose prize-winning, for when every wed nes day.
“prepositions for elijah fills the expanse of consciousness, captures what it is like to think, to dream, to remember, to hold a moment…a wonder to behold.”
– Jenny Boully, author of, The Body, an Essay; & The Book of Beginning and Endings, and judge of the 2022 Fugue Prose Prize
Asleep in the Woods is the first complete collected works of Patrick Sean Dunn. Arranged in five sections, each presented with a unique original collage of Dunn’s, Asleep in the Woods contains the oft-noted and beloved stories, A Blackish Black Horse and Who Killed the Lions, and for the first time anywhere in print presents the novellas, Lammellewyn and Emblems of Desire. Readers familiar with Dunn and those discovering his works for the first time will find delights from this decades spanning collection.
Under a Sun of Lead is a literary homage to the string quartet. Employing a tetralogical formula to tell the story, our narrator, along with two renowned Russian exiles, an American manuscript restorer, a beautiful young local, and a man who was to have become a priest find they have drawn the attention of the authorities and the city around them, after witnessing a harrowing accident.
EDWARD DAVID [b.1962] is a novelist whose fragmentary constructions subvert chosen forms to lead the reader to a place of personal consideration and perhaps broader revelation.

In 2019, Maison Chaungeaux opened its doors to provide a particular kind of care in publishing books believed to be valuable literary inventions. Books which would otherwise go unfound by a broad community of our fellow artists and deserving hungry readers.
M-CHGX’s list is unabashedly idiosyncratic and built upon writer-to-writer relationships fostered over decades.
