Book - Wild Life: Collected Works from 2003-2018, by Kathy Fish

Paperback, 110 pages, published 2018. This is Kathy Fish's 5th collection of flash fiction. I bought this copy new and it's still in excellent pre-owned condition. Very minor scuffs on the cover from having been shelved. "There’s a reason Kathy Fish's Fast Flash workshops sell out immediately and those reasons are on full display in this collection. It's a great introduction to Fish's work and the flash fiction form." This contains 50 fierce and compressed gems from a wonderful writer and a deeply compassionate teacher. I was lucky enough to take a couple of workshops with Kathy Fish and they really do sell out in about 10 minutes! She's just an all-around good egg. 🌞🪺 Her writing is swift and strong and nimble, and I'd be thrilled to pass this copy on so that a new reader could discover her work. 🌻 "Widely read, taught, shared, and discussed on social media, Kathy Fish is a master storyteller. Her piece “Collective Nouns for Humans in the Wild”--which addresses the scourge of America’s gun violence and mass shootings--was selected for Best American Nonrequired Reading 2018, edited by Sheila Heti. The piece was also chosen by Aimee Bender for Best Small Fictions 2018. Fish's flash fiction was also selected by Stuart Dybek for inclusion in Best Small Fictions 2016 and by Amy Hempel for Best Small Fictions 2017. Two other stories were selected for the W.W. Norton anthology, New Micro. Fish is a core faculty member for the Mile-High MFA at Regis University in Denver."
