Four Short Pieces by Kate Hall

~
I just discovered a cache of writing by Kate Hall. The content tends to be a little heavy; the writing is excellent. My favorites so far:

"My Mother Sees Me," "A History of Addiction," and "The Lecture on Infinity" by Tryst Emerging Writer Kate Hall (three short pieces from Tryst, Issue 17, Spring 2007)

"Girl" by Kate Hall (a piece of flash fiction from 3:AM Magazine, April 10, 2007)
