Rose Calliope

Digital chapbooks, satire, short fiction, nonfiction nostalgia pieces, and commentary writing. All titles are available as PDF downloads.

Collection Overview

This site brings together the full range of my digital work. The catalog includes fiction, nonfiction, and pieces that land between the two. New titles are added as each project is released, and all digital copies are sold through my RoseCalliope Etsy shop. 

The Button Files

This original series grew out of my years in the service industry. Each piece is workplace satire told from the point of view of a button attached to a worker’s garment. The narrator stays in one spot, catching details that only exist when you have actually worked the shift.

System Perspective Series

These stories are told by devices. They are everyday workplace systems placed in situations where they end up catching more than anyone expects. Some stay locked into their assigned roles, while others react to what people do, say, or leave unfinished. The satire comes from how differently a system interprets the moments around it.

Nostalgia Pieces

This nonfiction series is built around the places, sounds, and activities from my own life. The writing focuses on the atmosphere of a day and the small moments that defined those experiences.
