Every month it seems like these two fine journals go live at the same time, and I spend a good portion of the next day devouring both. So it’s kind of incredibly awesome that I have a story in both PANK‘s and The Collagist‘s February issue, both of which are just up today.
My story in The Collagist, “Feral Children: A Collective History,” is the first published piece from a collection-in-progress of fiction writing on tropes and figures from myth and legend. But don’t just read my story. As usual, every single thing in this issue is fantastic, including stories from M.T. Fallon and Mark Doten, and novel excerpts from Lily Hoang and Kate Zambreno. (I had no idea Lily had a novel coming out–this is very exciting news-to-me.)
Over at PANK, meanwhile, a new online issue has just gone up as well, with my story “Storage Space” in the mix. This story is based, very loosely, on a truer story. Not true, but truish. Anyhow. Read it and then read all the rest of the wonderful writers featured, like CL Bledsoe, Eric Burke, Alan Stewart Carl, Joseph Celizic, Katharine Coles, Ori Fienberg (I rave about him in my last post!), Elisa Gabbert and Kathleen Rooney, Emilie Lindemann, Kimberly Lojewski , Corey Mesler, Christopher Ryan, Erik Smetana, Charles Dodd White and Maya Jewell Zeller. Yowza.
And thank you so much to Matt Bell and Roxane Gay for the chance to appear in these amazing journals alongside so many great writers.

Just wanted to drop you a note and say “Feral Children” is f’ing awesome.

Thanks, Alan! I loved your piece in PANK as well.

Thanks in return. And, I have to say, your PANK story has been sticking with me, as well. The images of the homeless woman are so strong.
I see that you live in DC. Hope you’ve dug out. I lived there for a number of years (in Adams Morgan) and am very glad I missed the snow.

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words–starting out at this writing thing, you sometimes wonder if anyone’s actually reading the stuff you write, so it means so much to hear that it is being read and enjoyed.
We still really haven’t dug out yet, as I’m sure you can imagine. I used to lolive in Minnesota, so it feels like a typical winter for me, though. I live in Woodley Park, right near Adams Morgan, so we spend most of our time there.
