[ARETE] sports flash fiction?

[os2@cox.net os2@cox.net]

Matt,

I'm joining the immodest crowd, and especially Ron Smith, who refers to the brevity of some poetry. In the past several years, I have published two collections of poetry. One is a chapbook (Hoosiers the Poems) of only basketball poems, published by Palooka Press, and the other a full-length collection (Headhunting and Other Sports Poems), a wide variety of sports poems, published by Turning Point Books. My memoir, Outside Shooter, about my playing days with Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, and as a victim (I was on the losing team!) in the Hoosiers movie. Some of that might work for you.

I've had a lot of success teaching a few stories from John Edgar Wideman's Briefs ( https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBriefs-John-Edgar-Wideman%2Fdp%2F0557310040&data=02%7C01%7Csport_literature_association%40lists.ku.edu%7Cc534ddd985d5417d793708d7938e89e3%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637140112720084123&sdata=irxgVNYtWGF4Q8RxUxyxcP2K0nax8pxRfuSbVcv6n80%3D&reserved=0 https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FBriefs-John-Edgar-Wideman%2Fdp%2F0557310040&data=02%7C01%7Csport_literature_association%40lists.ku.edu%7Cc534ddd985d5417d793708d7938e89e3%7C3c176536afe643f5b96636feabbe3c1a%7C0%7C0%7C637140112720084123&sdata=irxgVNYtWGF4Q8RxUxyxcP2K0nax8pxRfuSbVcv6n80%3D&reserved=0 ) in the first weeks of my sports lit class and would love to have a few more authors on there.
