For
Imagistic, we invite writers to respond to work by artists. Each writer
chooses an image and then responds with a piece of flash fiction of up to 1,000
words – a translation from the language of image into the language of words. For
the first Imagistic in Washington, D.C., seven writers are responding to images
by seven artists:
Leslie
Pietrzyk, writing from work by Keith Morrison
Kyle Dargan
/ Larry Spaid
Paula Whyman
/ Angela Bartram
David
Gewanter / Dove Bradshaw
Janet
Passehl / Alyssa Salomon
Carole
Burns / Janet Passehl
Rhian
Edwards / Paul Edwards
Curated by Carole Burns and Paul Edwards, Imagistic was begun in 2012 as part of the UK’s National Flash Fiction Day. Some of the images chosen provide a clear narrative hook, a sense of place, a moment in time or an action interrupted. Others are more obscure - through a glass darkly.

More New Releases
The second of two sessions celebrating the recent publications of local literati on both Saturday and Sunday. Though a battle between the sexes was not intended, this hour features Susan Coll (The Stager), Courtney Sender (The Kenyon Review, Glimmer Train, American Short Fiction), and Leslie Pietrzyk (This Angel on My Chest, Pitt Drue Heinz Lit Prize). Not to be outdone by the male writers in session one, this hour promises to be just as engaging, with linked stories each about a different young woman whose husband dies suddenly and unexpectedly, a novel that is a dark comedy of real estate and rabbits, and stories that range from a fictional second uprising in Baltimore, one year after the first, to a tale of a girl with a hundred-pound heart. Hosted by Marion Winik, Associate Professor, University of Baltimore MFA in Creative Writing & Publishing Arts.
