The Long-Lost Limericks of HVS
Submitted by Hollis Seamon on Wed, 03/16/ -For over a year, I've been part of a project for the Friends of the Kinderhook Memorial Library. This project began with an amazing discovery in the library basement: a turn-of-theth century, never-published book containing paintings, sketches and limericks by the writer Harold Van Santvoord.
We're finally ready to reveal this wonderful book to the world. It's a great example of the folk art and humor of its time. Here's a link to the brand-new video about the book, the author and his hometown of Kinderhook, NY. Enjoy:
Nested and Evening All Afternoon
Submitted by Hollis Seamon on Sat, 03/14/ -Last fall, I had a chance to write a flash fiction based on the image "Nested" by the terrific artist, Laura Christensen.
My story, called "Evening All Afteroon," was part of a show put on by the Albany Public Library, in which writers from the College of Saint Rose MFA program created writing prompts and poems/stories based on the work of local artists.

With precise prose alternately chatty and subtly resonant, Seamon delves into female adolescence, body issues, sexuality, relationships between mothers and daughters, and other themes, often keenly revealing the magical, uncanny and symbolic meanings in everyday life. Her stories have also been noted in Best American Essays and O. Henry Prize Stories: The Best of Seamon has received a fiction fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts.The project was called Written Response Requested and was tons of fun.
