Each summer I update this opening page because I am always up to something new as I take a break from my teaching and dig into various creative projects. Over the decades I’ve written biography, nonfiction books on a broad range of topics, award-winning personal essays, humor and a memoir with my trans son. More recently I’ve dug into mixed media (watercolor paintings and flash NF), some short audio pieces and, currently, I’m composing a 60-to-80 page monograph of one of America’s finest landscape painters, Sharon Yates of Maine. As a teacher, I just closed out my sixth year with the Yale Summer Writing Program and will return for my 17th year as a professor of nonfiction at Central CT State University. It’s all about staying in motion!
