SUMMARY:Virtual Book Banter with Karin Cecile Davidson
DESCRIPTION:Book Banter is a free\, fun\, interactive event that streams live. Join the conversation on Facebook or YouTube! \n\n\n\nIn The Geography of First Kisses\, one finds portrayals of quiet elegance reminiscent of early-20th-century art films. The fourteen ethereal stories are tethered to the bays and backwaters of southern Louisiana\, the fields of Iowa and Oklahoma\, the pine woods of Florida\, places where girls and women seek love and belonging\, and instead discover relationships as complicated\, bewildering\, even sorrowful. A New Orleans girl spends a year collecting boyfriends and all the while considers the reach of her misadventures; a newlywed couple travels to Tulsa in search of a horse gone missing\, perhaps more in search of themselves; a new mother is faced with understanding the miracles and mysteries of faith when her baby disappears; a young daughter travels to Tallahassee with her mother\, trying to unravel the meaning of love crossed with abandonment. Saturated with poetic illusion and powered with prose of a dark\, pulsating circuitry\, the collection combines joy\, heartache\, and tenacity in a manner sorely missed in today’s super-structured literature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKarin Cecile Davidson (Fiction\, June 2009) is the author of the novel Sybelia Drive (Braddock Avenue Books\, 2020). Her story collection The Geography of First Kisses was awarded the 2022 Acacia Fiction Prize and is forthcoming from Kallisto Gaia Press in 2023. Her stories have appeared in Five Points\, Story\, The Massachusetts Review\, Colorado Review\, Passages North\, Post Road\, The Los Angeles Review\, and elsewhere. Her awards include an Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award\, the Waasmode Short Fiction Prize\, the Orlando Prize for Short Fiction\, a Peter Taylor Fellowship\, and residencies at the Fine Arts Work Center\, the Atlantic Center for the Arts\, and The Studios of Key West. Originally from New Orleans\, Louisiana\, she now lives in Columbus\, Ohio.
