Huge thanks to Tyler Barton for his excellent, insightful questions and to Split Lip Magazine<\/a> (one of my all-time favorites) for running the interview in their new, superb issue!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is an excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In 2012, before I knew I wanted to pursue writing seriously, I came across Kathy Fish\u2019s work online and quickly purchased her flash fiction collection Wild Life. The book was full of a kind of writing I had never read\u2014quietly powerful, intuitive, and so beautifully brief. Needless to say, it shoved me hard toward the dream of being a writer. For me, the slim book is both a craft manual and a symbol of that dream.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


“Imagine my delight, surprise, and confusion when I saw that Fish was publishing a brand new book called\u2026Wild Life. But wait\u2014this Wild Life is a new-and-collected (a \u201cbest of,\u201d as Fish describes it) encompassing her original book, plus some of her favorites from the subsequent seven years. It was published by Matter Press this winter, and I had the pleasure of talking to Fish about the daunting process of carving a book of fifty stories from a bibliography of over 200.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
