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.
