THE COLLAGIST: Issue Five

The fifth issue of The Collagist is now live!

Issue Five is headlined by the winner of our 2009 Flash Fiction Contest, Todd Cantrell's "Aren't There People Who Take Care of This Kind of Thing?” His winning story is followed by work from each of our three finalists: Stace Budzko, Chella Courington, and Kristine Uyeda. Thanks so much to these writers for entering, and to Kim Chinquee for her careful judging of the contest.

To support these contest winners, we have an all-flash fiction section rounded out with new stories by Scott Garson, Jennifer Howard, Jim Ruland, and Lindsay Merbaum. Elsewhere in Issue Five, we have a novel excerpt from Anastasia Hobbet's Small Kingdoms, plus non-fiction by Dave Housley and Ryan Ridge. In poetry, you'll find new poems by Candy Shue, Ethan Joella, Robert Fanning, and Sheera Talpaz.

In this month's book review section, we've got coverage of Memoir: A History by Ben Yagoda, Dad Says He Saw You at the Mall by Ken Sparling, and The Lost Tiki Palaces of Detroit by Michael Zadoorian, plus a video review of All Fall Down by Mary Caponegro.

As always, thank you in advance for reading, and for helping us spread the word about The Collagist. I hope you enjoy the new issue!
