Marcia Peck’s prize-winning short-short fiction has appeared in Chautauqua Journal, New Millenium Writers (first prize), Flashquake (first prize), and Gemini Magazine, and elsewhere. She was a Glimmer Train Award finalist for “The Flavor of Borscht” and received a Pushcart nomination for her short fiction “Long Distance.” She is the grateful recipient of Artist Fellowships from the Minnesota State Arts Board, Loft-McKnight, and the Jerome Foundation as well as residencies at Hambidge Center in Georgia and Ragdale in Illinois. A cellist with the Minnesota Orchestra for her entire musical career, she is inspired by the rhythms and sounds of music echoed in language.
