As summer 2025 approaches I look forward to teaching the nonfiction workshop for the Yale Summer Writing Program May 31 to June 7 on ground in New Haven and spending a week at the Hudson Valley Writers Residency in August. Currently I am finishing up a monograph that features one of America’s most accomplished landscape painters, Sharon Yates of Maine, and contemplating digging into my first attempt at a novel, which centers on the logging camps of my Irish ancestors in Maine. I guess that makes the start of 2025 a very New England adventure!
