Wallace Stevens

"This song is for my foe, / the clean-shaven, gray-suited, gray patron / of Hartford, the emperor of whiteness / blue as a body made of snow."

e-singles

Frade Killed Ellen, Turquoise Truck, and The Betrayal of Times of Peace and Prosperity are longer short stories available as stand-alone e-books at Amazon, Apple, Smashwords, and other locations. Because they're "sold separately" and appear as electronic books, I italicized these titles, but because they're short stories and not novels or even novellas, we could argue quotation marks are more appropriate for these titles.

Avee Chaudhuri's "Problem Women, Problem Men"

"He sat down from his oration and had another scotch whiskey. We had furnished him with a bottle of Cutty Sark, which I think put him in mind of ships, barges, indentured labor, uneven trades, doomed marriages perhaps. He spent several minutes staring at the bottle. Someone in the corner said, 'get this man some egg rolls, stat!'"

~~ from "Problem Women, Problem Men" by Avee Chaudhuri
