Amy Fusselman

Fusselman’s hybrid writing integrates prose, poetry, and essay, with unconventional fragmented narrative structures that mimic the way memory works, allowing for leaps across time and subject without traditional linear transitions.^[8] Fusselman's "bunnyrabbit," an experimental 1990s zine, was internationally distributed by Tower Books.^[9] The zine combined creative writing with artist interviews and cultural influences, such as film, poetry, prose, music and illustration.^[10] Copies are held in the University of Chicago Library Zine Collection,^[11] the library at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago,^[12] and the University of Montana, Mansfield Library, Archives and Special Collections.^[13] Her freelance writing has been published in The New York Times,^[14]The Washington Post,^[15] and The Atlantic.^[16] Fusselman’s column Family Practice, for McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, observes intersections between parenting, play, risk-taking and work.^[17] Fusselman taught creative writing (fiction and nonfiction) at New York University School of Professional Studies (2020–2022).^[18]
