At the end of most semesters, you can find us celebrating the launch of Gandy Dancer in the College Union at Geneseo. We have food and drink. Guests can hear contributors read their work in person, purchase the new issue or a Gandy Dancer T-shirt, coffee mug, or baseball hat. Sometimes we have live music or a raffle, but we always have fun.
This semester, we’re all spread out across the state, hunkered down at home, but we still want to celebrate the new issue, the hard work of putting it together—especially after we went to remote learning—the artists and writers from across SUNY who entrusted us with their work. You can view it below, on our YouTube channel, or with the current issue.
As always, you can purchase an issue here or view it online at gandydancer.org.
We hope you’ll enjoy the work you see and hear.
Many thanks to Allison Brown, Michele Feeley, Dr. Rob Doggett, and the Parry family. Thanks also to the contributors for sharing their work and to the creative writing and art instructors in whose classrooms this work was encouraged to bloom.
Enjoy!
All best,
The Gandy Dancer staff
Never before have I read anything that so thoroughly upended my expectations as when I read the flash fiction submissions for Gandy Dancer 3.1. The flash fiction pieces we are featuring in this edition of the journal are quite diverse from one another, in that they all come from different authors and they each cover entirely disparate subjects. In 2.2 we published three flash pieces—though all were by the same author—and in 2.1 the journal published its first and only flash fiction piece. I appreciate that this issue of Gandy Dancer has seen a growth in the number and variety of flash fiction submissions we received, allowing me and my fellow readers to compile a flash fiction section, which showcases three strong pieces by three strong authors.
