Theseus in Belleville | 25 June 2016 | National Flash Fiction Day

Posted on by A.E. Weisgerber

I am thrilled that on National Flash Fiction Day 2016, my prose poem “Theseus in Belleville” appears in the anthology A Box of Stars Beneath the Bed.  Thanks very much to the editorial team at National Flash Fiction Day, led by Calum Kerr and Santino Prinzi.

Copies are available for order at Amazon.

“Theseus in Belleville” is a prose poem that, at its heart, is about trains and train stations. It’s very fun to read aloud, especially when you catch your breath on the word clew.  Such a funny old word.

Thank you for stopping by my blog for a visit — for now, this story is only available in print, and I hope you treat yourself or give as a gift a copy of A Box of Stars Beneath the Bed.
