Reviews
"Michaela Carter is such a fine, original writer, with a gritty sensuality and musical ear. The characters in Further Out Than You Thought are young, self-destructive, and wild, as well as vulnerable and complex. This is an enthralling book." -- Kate Christensen, author of The Astral " Further Out Than You Thought is as seductive as a velvet-curtained club, as surprising as a dancer who first peels off her clothes, then peels away her skin to reveal her shimmering, complicated heart." -- Gayle Brandeis, author of The Book of Dead Birds "Lovely, taut and lyrical-- Further Out Than You Thought pulls back the curtain on a misunderstood life, showing that true nakedness is not found under strip club lights but in the reveal of a heart. This is a wonderful book." -- Rene Denfeld, author of The Enchanted "This debut from award-winning poet Carter is an unexpected gift. . . . a fable for those who remember the bad old days." -- Kirkus Reviews "Sexy, sleek and fearless, this debut simmers with vivid language and vulnerability, and is enthralling to the end.

I mean really loved it." -- Jimmy Santiago Baca, award-winning poet and author of A Glass of Water, Michaela Carter is such a fine, original writer, with a gritty sensuality and musical ear.
