“Chickadee,” edited by the wonderful Elena Bentley and published in spring Magazine vol. 14.

Lots of scintillating professional materials and web content, including as a French curator for a teacher site called the Resource Bank (educators, check it out!).

“(T)re(e)union,” published in the PULP Poems chapbook by Emerging Writers.

Vaissi was a staff writer and proofreader (and, briefly, ombudsman) for her university newspaper, The Fulcrum. It was amazing fun; sadly, a malware attack gobbled up a lot of their online archive.

The first story that Vaissi published was about a snail and a volcano. She was two-ish, and had already staged a slew of stuffed animal action-adventure-dramedy performances for a very local audience.

The book was bound with the cardboard from the back of one of her Dad’s legal pads. It was distributed widely within her household, where reviews were generally unmemorable.
