Big Goose published in The Ampersand Review
In 2027, I’ll be launching my first collection of short stories currently titled Beast Vocals with Wolsak & Wynn publishers. I’ve been lucky to place a few stories from that collection in various journals (with fingers crossed for more). Most recently, this short and strange little one called Big Goose about a fear I have of being attacked (and absorbed) by a Canada Goose!
“I will be a thing that isn’t here. I wish my heartbeat had more knowledge of my skin. Why didn’t I see this one coming?
Big Goose flips me on its bill. Rocks my skin overhead, making a cape of my epidermis. The rest of me is left for the marching ants. We fly. Big Goose with skincape. Let’s soar from head to toe, Big Goose! I am your third wing now. Head to tail feather. Fly! Look funny from the outside.”
The Ampersand Review of Writing & Publishing is a literary magazine published by the Honours Bachelor of Creative Writing & Publishing program at Sheridan College. It’s a great looking magazine and I was excited to be included in the issue with Dennis Lee, Stuart Ross, Mark Sampson and Adrian De Leon among other great pieces.
Check out Big Goose!
