ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
THIS BOOK, though it has our names on the cover, was a highly collaborative effort. We’d like to thank our coworkers at Nerve for the big and the little things; most of the time we are too busy to tell them how much we appreciate all their support. (That goes double for our fellow editors and assistants, without whom we’d be lost.) We’d also like to single out Nerve poetry editor Ross Martin for introducing us to our eventual publisher, and our agent Neeti Madan for seeing it through. Thanks to our editor, Rachel Kahan, who made the process fun. But most of all, thanks to the authors collected here; your talent and achievement helped make Nerve the magazine we hoped it could be, and this collection something we are proud to represent. Hats off.
—Jack Murnighan and Genevieve Field
