“Over the years, I’ve seen many excellent literary presses come along, and yet I’ve not seen anything quite like what The 3rd Thing has done these last two especially challenging years. The books both stand on their own, acknowledging and speaking from their own place, and are also in communion with the others published that year, and in times prior. Eight titles in, I look forward to what is to come.”
