f(r)iction is here

10/8/2019

 
F(R)ICTION has arrived in my mailbox! I was so excited when the gorgeous and innovative print magazine F(R)ICTION solicited work from me, and when, after a long, long, LONG editorial process, they accepted “The Lunatics’ Ball.” This piece is particularly close to my heart, and will be the opening to my longer project THE LUNATICS’ BALL, if I ever get it off the ground. Very grateful to editors Dani Hedlund and Andrew Jimenez, and particularly to senior editor Kaley Kiermayr, who devoted a great deal of time and attention to this work.
 
F(R)ICTION has published creative nonfiction by Lee Gutkind and Phillip Lopate, poetry by Kwame Dawes and Mary Ruefle, flash by Kathy Fish and David Galef. They do graphic comics and provide original artwork for each piece. “F(R)ICTION stands out for the sheer kinetic energy of its illustration,” says NEON MAGAZINE. “Drawings spill across every other page in a way that might seem reckless were it not so good-looking.” Their mission: “F(r)iction is different. The brainchild of a ragtag team of editors, artists, and writers, F(r)iction is the best of everything we’ve ever loved. F(r)iction is experimental. F(r)iction is strange. F(r)iction pokes the soft spots, touches nerves most would rather remain protected. F(r)iction is secrets and truths and lies.”
 
Very cool to see my name gracing the front cover.

In other news, some 800,000 PG&E customers in Northern and Central California will be without power starting at midnight. Castro Valley, where  Steve and I live, and Hayward, where we teach, are on the list. I put out a couple of flashlights and some candles and matches, but we're not exactly prepared.
