Fiction
Although I chose to pursue graduate studies in theology, I'm still very
interested in literature and creative writing. The links below lead to
several fiction stories and poems.
- The Bucket appeared
in Pictureshirts and Jellywork, Vol. 2. Saint Mary's University
(March, 1993): 9. This was an anthology put out by students in the English
department. The editors were Joseph Desjardin, John Hedley and Graham
Williamson. Their faculty advisor was Dr. Margaret Harry.
- Something Indian
appeared in Pictureshirts and Jellywork, Vol. 2. Saint Mary's
University (March, 1993): 7. At the launch of the anthology I was surprised
to learn that I was expected to get up in front of the crowd and read
my work. It was the first time I read my fiction in public. Luckily,
there was free beer.
- Dedication was done as a writing exercise
at a gathering of Thousand Cats, our art collective.
- Three Dates was written
for the same event, and published in the same anthology (162-163). I
signed up to read at Clit Lit before I had any material written,
so the looming deadline gave me a good kick in the ass to get the work
done. This piece outed me as bisexual to a crowd which I assumed to
be lesbian. I was relieved to get laughter rather than booing. I intended
the poem to be funny.
- Chapter IX.V In Which Christopher
Robin gets some paints and it rains again. I wrote this for
Mr. Pugh in April of 1999 as an anniversary present. He would often
read me stories from A. A. Milne's Winnie The Pooh and The
House at Pooh Corner. We had been discussing the books, and saying
how we wished there were more (of the old-style Pooh, not the newer,
Disney Pooh). This story probably violates copyright in a whole bunch
of ways. If Disney or Someone In Authority asks me to, I'll remove it.
