Kathy Fish joins us for this episode of The Artist's Statement focused on flash fiction, defined as stories under 1,000 words. She discusses the genre, its origins, and how it can be distinguished from short stories and prose poetry. She also elaborates on techniques she uses to create her flash pieces, including juxtaposition, contradiction, and repetition, and how she finds titles for her work. Fish’s most recent collection is Wild Life: Collected Works 2003-2018, now in its 2nd print run with Matter Press. She reads and discusses “Foreign Film,” “Today When I Asked You About a Couple We Knew in Canberra,” “Collective Nouns for Humans in the Wild,” inspired by the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, and “Unfettered and Alive.”
Hosted by Davin Malasarn.
