  • The Ambition of the Short Story

    The Ambition of the Short Story By Steven Millhauser Published in the New York Times on October 3, 2008 The short story — how modest in bearing! How unassuming in manner!

  • Ox-Bow

    I’m out at the Ox-Bow Artists’ Residency for two weeks (9/5-9/18). I’ve really enjoyed the space and the air and the ability to clear my head a little bit from a busy post-gradschool summer…in short I feel like I haven’t been able to stop and think until now and it’s a really good thing! It…

  • Rope Swings are Free

    Free to use if you find them. Freeing in the way the fling you and swing you. They themselves however are the opposite of free–I’m glad for the tethering that enables me to hang. Swing-like rope in my studio Rope swing images from Google
