Through these three elements-each of them so clearly connected to the body-Moniz creates an honest, unflinching look at her characters’ innermost thoughts and desires. Milk, blood, or heat appear in every story, functioning as the beating heart of the book. A woman looks at the remains of her miscarriage. A naked man stands on his bathroom scale. Dantiel Moniz’s sparkling debut story collection, Milk Blood Heat, is vibrant and alive, full of energy and desire and with a sharp focus on the body.
