Three Pieces of Flash Nonfiction by A. Hunter Sunrise

by Llalan • 01.04.2010

It’s difficult and almost impossible to write meaningfully about mortality. About faith and grief. About love. Many writers fail when trying, slipping into something trite, something already said. Many writers don’t even try. This is what makes A. Hunter Sunrise’s three pieces of flash nonfiction so remarkable. In delicate, lyrical prose, she dances not around the subjects, but with them. She illuminates her feelings on the subjects for the reader and allows her to flow along with the thoughts, drifting finally to the end, these ephemeral words taking on shape.

    I love these three pieces because each has a way of lingering in the white space, and I was left with an unshakable chill after each prose piece ended. Bravo to the author for so effectively using the short nonfiction form!

    I just wanted to say I completely loved “Three Peices.” It was inspiring and said much more than the words written.
