With its ghosts, motorcycles, portraits, Vikings, failed relationships, and many layered voices, Kelcey Parker's Liliane's Balcony is as dizzying and intricately beautiful as the architectural wonder in which it is set.
Kelcey Parker Ervick has traveled to Prague regularly since 2003 and currently directs an overseas study program to Prague and Berlin, where students create collage journals inspired by artists such as Hannah Höch, Toyen (Marie Čermínová), and Jiří Kolář. She is the author of the story collection FOR SALE BY OWNER (Kore Press) and of LILIANE'S BALCONY (Rose Metal Press), a novella-in-flash set at Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and winner of silver medal awards from the IPPY, Foreword, and Eric Hoffer Book Awards. A recipient of grants from the Indiana Arts Commission and the Sustainable Arts Foundation, she teaches creative writing and literary collage at Indiana University South Bend. Her blog features interviews with contemporary writers and the series, Letters to Dead Authors.
