Anahid Nersessian

Anahid Nersessian is a writer living in Los Angeles.

With Fuel (Nightboat, 2025), Rosie Stockton returns to the theme of love in the time of capital and finds it a crime scene, a bleak, petroleum-soaked landscape of shattered hearts and lost futures. But Stockton’s art only glows brighter in the dark. “I let what I hurt carry me,” they write, “I risk unaccountable heat / I get as breakable as possible.” To be breakable is to admit the world even at its worst, to be transformed as fully by pain as by joy. Fuel dares us to crack open.
