Available for order from Spuyten Duyvil

I am a writer, independent scholar and Professor Emerita of English (Knox College). I published my second poetry collection in 2021: The Blue Bed (Spuyten Duyvil). My first book of poetry, Wild Domestic was published in 2015 (Sheep Meadow Press). I've also published a critical book, Outsiders Together: Virginia and Leonard Woolf (Princeton, 2000), and a chapbook of essays, She and I (Essay Press, May 2018). My essays, poems and fiction are forthcoming or have appeared in journals including AGNI, Yale Review, APR, Raritan, Gettysburg Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, Prairie Schooner and Southwest Review, and four essays have been listed as "Notable" in Best American Essays collections. In 2018 I was named one of 30 “Writers to Watch” by the Guild Literary Complex in Chicago, where I lived from 2018 to 2022; I now live in the Hudson Valley, NY. I teach literature courses for adults through the Newberry Library and the Graham School at the University of Chicago.
