I’m both humbled and excited that my flash fiction “Lessons: Grandma’s Nine Lives as an Octogenerian Ho” is included in Jaded Ibis’ Dirty:Dirty anthology, edited by Debra Di Blasi and illustrated by Mugi Takei. Here’s the project description:
One artist and 54 writers accepted the challenge of creatively defining “dirty” in the 21st Century. Mugi Takei’s delicate, profane watercolors position the human body within, on and against nature. While some writers surrendered to play through sexually explicit love poetry, bawdy fiction, threesomes, twosomes, onesomes, and all the delightful fantasies and realities in-between, others suggested genocide to be the real dirt of humanity, or offer sexy, new versions of biblical stories. As an anthology, Dirty : Dirty exhibits the beauty, humor, raunch and invention possible when talented artists and writers tackle a very old subject.
Every one of the writers in this anthology is a friend and hero to me. There’s new work by Stacey Levine, Doug Rice, Lily Hoang, Lidia Yuknavitch, Davis Schneiderman, Steve Katz, Robert Lopez, Cris Mazza, and many many more.
