Oh Baby: Flash Fictions and Prose Poetry
Oh Baby: Flash Fictions and Prose Poetry
by Kim Chinquee
Staff Pick
Kim Chinquee's stories follow their own rules. They zigzag sentence by simple sentence, creating a dangerous territory that we can only detect by the emotional undercurrents she effortlessly creates. Like their titles, each piece is minimal in form but... (read more)

Lenny Bruce is Dead
Lenny Bruce is Dead
