I'm very grateful to @NadyaWilliams81 for this wonderful review of my book. What a gift it is to see others' responses to one's work, and for them to understand and appreciate the artistic goals of that work.

[Russell Kirk Center @KirkCenter]

"To read a collection like this one is to be taught to feel deeply and pastorally. I have not felt the desire to weep when reading O���Connor’s stories, yet Cyr’s invite such emotion more readily from us." @NadyaWilliams81

Thanks, Liv!

[Liv Ross @je_suis_liv]

Well, it's not snowing, and it ain't June, but I'm mighty happy to get my copy of the new book from @EricMichaelCyr! The @WisebloodBooks team are putting out great work!

[Paul J. Pastor @pauljpastor]

It may not snow here in June, but I am still expecting great things from this from @EricMichaelCyr and @WisebloodBooks .

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

Thank you, @shemaiahng!

[Shemaiah Gonzalez @shemaiahng]

@maryraphaela @EricMichaelCyr @WisebloodBooks I'll also say, that this is a fantastic collection for young men. Eric gets them. So much insight

Mary Finnegan reminded me of this quote from DFW. I have tried to capture some of the truth of this in my stories.

[Mary Finnegan @maryraphaela]

“Welcome to the world of reality—there is no audience. No one to applaud, to admire. No one to see you. Do you understand? Here is the truth—actual heroism receives no ovation, entertains no one. No one queues up to see it. No one is interested….True heroism is minutes, hours, weeks, year upon year of the quiet, precise, judicious exercise of probity and care—with no one there to see or cheer. This is the world.”David Foster Wallace

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

@maryraphaela @WisebloodBooks I love this quote!

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

Exciting things from @WisebloodBooks - Minor Indignities is an excellent book, and I'm looking forward to Merrill's follow-up!

[Trevor Cribben Merrill @cribbenMerrill]

I have heard many good things about @EricMichaelCyr's short story collection, appropriately due for release June 23rd from @WisebloodBooks, and I'm delighted to see my novel The Comforts of Exile (not until September 29) announced alongside it.

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

@je_suis_liv @Fitzthewriter I started reading this book today and the first story is wonderful.

Also, Marie Sharp, the pride of Belize! I taught as a missionary in Belize for two years, so even though I don't particularly like hot sauce, I have an affection for seeing Marie Sharp in the wild.

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

@je_suis_liv Love it! I ordered mine!

[Christopher Honey @coffeephilosoph]

This coming Sunday, we will be working in Mary's garden. Also, @EricMichaelCyr will be reading at the Thomist Poets. Also, American invades the Vatican? Let's hope not that one. Check out upcoming #ThomistPoet readings and find out how to join at https://t.co/pUFbLmVcci

[Christopher Honey @coffeephilosoph]

Are you ready for @EricMichaelCyr to read from his debut short story collection on Sunday, April 19 at 7 pm EST? https://t.co/A1fBOfVnXL

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

@sethwieck Everything I know about Garden City I know from In Cold Blood. I'm sure that is not auspicious of your reading, though, which will be the literary event of the season for the good people of Kansas.

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

@maryraphaela @shemaiahng @WisebloodBooks Yes, I think you're right. I've been trying really hard with my students this year to spend time just enjoying and appreciating and basking in good writing rather than in solely dissecting it.

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

@shemaiahng @WisebloodBooks So true. I teach junior high and high school, and the truth will always out!

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

@coffeephilosoph @paul_jkrause 💯

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

@shemaiahng @WisebloodBooks Thank you so much! Very glad to hear you and your son both appreciated the story!

[Eric Cyr @EricMichaelCyr]

Early copies are starting to show up the real world!

[Shemaiah Gonzalez @shemaiahng]
