Pivot: a figure skating move in which the toe pick of the left blade is placed in the ice as an anchor, and the skater turns in a circle on a right back outside edge.

The Pivotal Prose Series revolves around narrativities, poetic prose, novellas, meditations and writing that defies category. The authors in this series frequently work in other genres, such as poetry, film or visual art. The series also rotates around a varied group of contemporary writers--and some texts will appear in translation.
