David James Poissant

Join me this Wednesday, March 4, 7:00-8:30PM at Max's Taphouse (737 S Broadway, Baltimore) for the @cincinnatireview.bsky.social AWP off-site flash reading. Thrilled to be part of such a stellar lineup! Then hit me up all week at the bookfair at @theflreview.bsky.social table (T877).

Like flash? I'm reading alongside some awesomely amazing writers on AWP Wednesday. Come see us in Baltimore!

Thanks for the kind words @mixedmetaphors.bsky.social and @foofarawpress.bsky.social . And thanks again to @lisaampleman.bsky.social and @cincinnatireview.bsky.social for giving this piece such a great home!

Thank you, Andrea!!!

I've long been a fan of @autofocusbooks.bsky.social and everything the miraculous Michael Wheaton does. Happy to get this beautiful bundle in the mail today with new books from @aaronburch.bsky.social
@suburbanprairie.bsky.social
and Lauren Lavin

A dream come true to see The Heaven of Animals on the big screen, but an even cooler dream to see Paula Diaz sweeping Spain's awards season for her spellbinding performance. Bravo, Paula!

Heart - The Cincinnati Review Managing Editor Lisa Ampleman: In "Heart," David James Poissant shows how information can be revealed slowly and deliberately in a piece of flash fiction.

Thrilled have a 500-word story up today at The Cincinnati Review @cincinnatireview.bsky.social . This story started as an idea for an ending that I texted myself and carried around on a phone for years. Finishing was just a matter of finding a beginning:
