Sherrie Flick interviewed in BELT Magazine

A huge thank you to Belt Magazine and Bill Lychack for a lovely interview with AHP author Sherrie Flick about her new collection of flash fiction, I Have Not Considered Consequences.

When discussing experimentation and play, Bill said:

The bear gave you permission to experiment, it seems. The bear feels like a tap into some unconscious. Every time the bear comes back, it’s like dipping in and out of something deeper.

Sherrie, in response:

I was working on the essay collection [Homing: Instincts of a Rustbelt Feminist], and to procrastinate I would write these bear stories in my journal. They were handwritten. Throw-offs. I didn’t necessarily expect the bear pieces to have legs, but when I pulled them together, I was like, okay, now let’s think about non-bear stories. And I did kind of always think of them as non-bear stories in my head, writing them to directly counter the bear stories that existed.
