New Short Story Collection by Stefanie Freele
NEW short story collection Feeding Strays by graduate Stefanie Freele.
About Feeding Strays: A woman hides from her husband in a fish tank and another absently bakes sponges inside her tarts. Appliances drop from the sky, men grapple with chainsaws, women struggle with hormonal violence, and abandoned boys beg on doorsteps. Enter into the territory of broken people and the folks that love them.
Sensitive and unruly, sincere and absurd, Stefanie Freele’s “Feeding Strays” is a collection of fifty short stories, both slipstream and modern, about children, family, relationships, and oysters.
—–
Feeding Strays is wonderful, full of strange, original invention. Never a cliche, seldom anything even resembling a wasted word, full of surprises, and in all ways gratifying. Motherhood didn’t seem to get in Ms. Freele’s hair or her computer in the slightest, except perhaps to reinforce what was lurking in the bottom of her mind, waiting to be let loose.– David Wagoner

Stefanie, We all want a class from you on how to get so many articles published when you are slogging away as a student. Kaye

I’d like to invite poetry students to visit the 10×3 plus web site and the 10×3 blog site. The magazine is available for $8.00 per issue or $20 for three issues. The first issue is no longer available except to libraries and institutions (very limited # left).
One of your alumni, Caleb Barber, will be appearing in the upcoming #4 issue and, if you are all as original as Caleb, you are welcome to submit your poems to 10×3.
