New Review of Wild Life: Collected Works at Up the Staircase Quarterly

Many thanks to Andrea Rinard for her incisive review of my most recent collection. Here is an excerpt:

“Whether she’s dropping her readers into the dark pockets of lives overlooked or underestimated, or acting as voyeur, eavesdropping and speculating on what she sees and hears, Fish shows an understanding of humanity and transforms the inexplicable and ineffable into stories that resonate with intimate familiarity. Taken together, Fish’s collection suggests that a collective noun for her compact, beautiful writing is a wildness as it illustrates the wildness not only of the human spirit and condition but also the wildness of the writing process itself when in the control of a fearless and inventive craftsperson.”

Read the review in its entirety at Up the Staircase Quarterly.

I am now halfway through my Fellowship Residency at Ragdale, working, reading, writing, editing, daydreaming, and going for snowy walks on the prairie. I find myself among a cohort of exceedingly talented and kind individuals. I am grateful for this opportunity beyond measure.
