Fiction. Poetry. Introduction by Susan McCabe. DIES: A SENTENCE by Vanessa Place is a 117-page, one-sentence novel about the coils of language and war, unspooled in the dying breath of a pre- and post-scient World War I soldier.

"Roll over, dear Whitman," says Susan McCabe in her Introduction, "Here's our new original."
