Jillian Weise’s books of poetry are Translating the Body and The Amputee’s Guide to Sex. Her poem “Incision” was broadcast on Poetry Everywhere (PBS). She interned at The Paris Review and spent two winters in residence at the Fine Arts Work Center before joining the faculty at Clemson. Last year she travelled to Tierra del Fuego on a Fulbright where she completed her first novel The Colony.

“Part Wellsian dystopia, part medical mystery, part Hawthornian allegory, and part reality show, The Colony is a potent exploration of ethics in the Age of the Genome. But Weise’s novel is not merely an exceedingly smart and formally elegant novel of ideas—it is also a deeply compelling character-driven drama. Anne Hatley’s voice is irresistible—witty, assured, sexy, righteous, wounded. The Colony is a tremendous success, one of the most exciting first novels in recent memory.” —Chris Bachelder
