About Me

Atlanta, Georgia, United States
My first book, "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has been named one of "Twenty Five Books All Georgians Should Read!" I would love to visit your bookclub, either in person (in the South) or through the magic of electronics. My writing has received a "Special Mention" for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. I have been honored with a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, CT., a Fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, and the 2009 Peter Taylor Nonfiction Fellowship at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Locally, I teach workshops in creative writing, memoir, and feature journalism, and am a member of the faculty of an art college, where I teach screenwriting. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) and a B.S. in Communication from Emerson College, in Boston. I used to work in television. I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

Pix from the Road






Collage images #1 & #2 from my collageathon with pal S., an author of note and reigning Cancer Bitch, whose advice to me, as I wielded scissors and glue in her attic, was "don't be afraid to let things touch." Good advice for extended metaphor, no?

Prior to the collageathon was a day and half at the gracious Hyde Park home of A., and her family, including a gobsmacking walk along the lake.


Iowa 80. Wind turbines. Freaked me OUT. Huge suckers. Looked like alien transport. Then I saw one on a flatbed truck, being transported. I was en route to and from a conference, the supine turbine, less so.
