Re: FICTION: The Reasons Why I Love You - Queen Mob's Tea House

Posted on 15th Jul 2019

First I read this as a love poem / letter. It put me in mind of the Doris Kareva poem:
"And I love you
because I love you.
Why even meet -
you are mere air to me.
There everywhere."
('Days of Grace', Bloodaxe, 2018)
Then my eye fell on the title again. 'Fiction' tucks in neatly at the beginning and seems to be part of or to participate in the title, making my second reading of this piece as of an ode to fiction, to the muse.
Much to muse on and marvel at here ...

Thank you for sharing this list! It's been extremely helpful in my MFA search. Do you happen to know of any programs abroad in Europe that would be LGBT+ friendly? I'm finding it extremely difficult to track down any information on them. Thank you!

One of the best Flash fictions I've ever read. Great use of repetition to evoke the characters. I know something's good when I finish reading and wish I'd written it myself. Big-hearted, insightful and tragic all at once. Profound, yet simple, and really really good.
