Education

MA Concordia

BFA University of British Columbia

I am interested in and publish writing in a number of genres including poetry, prose, memoir and essay, as well as writing that crosses and challenges genres. I am particularly interested in work that addresses difficult concepts and attempts to address them in innovative ways. I have curated Writers Read for more than a decade and prior to that co-curated Belladonna Reading Series in New York. Questions of performance and literary curation are of ongoing concern
