On Sunday, January 25, 2015, Jennifer Genest, MFA will join me on Behind the Prose to discuss two of her recent publications in the genres of fiction and creative nonfiction.

We will be close reading and discussing her flash fiction story “Ways to Prepare White Perch” and creative non-fiction essay “Her Fighting Weight – A Postpartum Experience,” published in New Delta Review and The Doctor T.J. Eckleburg Review.  Read the essays, listen, and call in! Jennifer will answer your questions on the air!
