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.

Reveal Yourself, Narrative Urge artist!






So, you may recall that last week I blogged about the "Follow Your Narrative Urge" mystery letters ? Me and my big mouth. Or keyboard. I got a letter too, and the freaky thing is, I got it at work.. (Gasp!)

Here is a picture of the overall missive.

While it's not too hard to figure out where I work, I don't have it on my website, so, you mystery person, you either know me, are a former or current student at this particular institution of higher learning, or, I dunno, met me somewhere and I was running my mouth.

I read the note and the clipping in class today. (Yes, the clipping. If you're reading this, mystery person, you can just imagine...) I did it to encourage the awesomeness of participatory art.

You continue to rock.

June 1st UPDATE. The $10 Art Mystery Now has a Wiki page. Follow the escapes and for heaven's sake, help figure out who's the participatory public art puppetmaster!

Hmmm, wonder if there's an AiA connection? I don't think so, but it's a curiosity. Commoncreative looks interesting!
