PLOT LINES reviewed by John Murphy, Curatorial Fellow at the University of San Diego’s University Galleries. “PLOT LINES, featuring three LA-based writers and artists, fulfills that mandate by offering a fresh and slyly subversive take on the age-old antagonism between art and craft. Seisler redirects stale criticisms of craft as domestic, feminine, and bound by tradition by both embracing and unsettling those expectations.” • Two short stories in PLOT LINES at Nicole Siesler’s A-B Projects. Super excited to have my stories alongside work from Christine Han and Jackie Rines At the Bendix Building in DTLA Dec 9 – Jan 20 • New Pen-City stories published in VICE! This time it’s all memoir. Four pieces from Carlos, Jason, Jose, and AJ — students in the first-ever two-year college-level Creative Writing Certificate Program for men incarcerated at the Connally Unit Prison in Texas — on Christmas in prison, annoying people, chitchat, and nearly being killed. • VICE: Heartbreaking True Stories from Inside Texas Prisons “These are among the first of many stories to come from Connally’s Pen-City Writers, stories we wrote on hot Texas nights, under a moon we see only through cage wire.” Fiction from Kevin, Jason, and Jose.
