Writings in the Raw
I am thrilled to share that my essay, “Scouting,” will be published by Cutleaf Journal later this year.
This is perhaps the most personal work that I’ve sent out into the world — a meditation on the loss of my second pregnancy. Even in the presence of my two healthy children, Scout remains with me always. I hope that readers find as much solace in this piece as I found in writing it.
I write.
I doodle.
I'm at work on my first book, a collection of linked short stories that follows a community of expatriates living on the southern coast of Spain.
I care about stuff. Like curing type 1 diabetes. And marriage equality. And rights for immigrants. And public radio. And espanol. And Frank O'Hara and Jennifer Egan and Federico Garcia Lorca and Tony Kushner. You know, cool stuff.
I make postcards that are also stories.
Sometimes I read stories and poems out loud.
Sometimes I go to conferences.
You can find my short stories, essays, poems and flash fictio in a variety of places in print and online. If you Google really hard, you might find the two short radio pieces I produced on a badass NPR affiliate in San Francisco.
This is where you can go to find out who I am.
