NYC friends!! Hi from the vintage Sears coat I just found in free box on sunny street. PSA to say I am hoping to spend some time in city after I finish teaching June 21 and will you be gone and do you want to sublet your apartment to me for 3-9 days?! I am very clean and trusty!

Mourning the ending of Lola Milholland's debut memoir GROUP LIVING, forthcoming from Spiegel & Grau, which is both a beautifully saturated portrait of communal life and a radical conceptual exploration of co-habitation beyond the nuclear family. ALSO there are recipes!

The goddess of science writing Erica Berry won the 2024 Literary Arts award for her amazing book Wolfish!

Congratulations to the winner of the Sarah Winnemucca Award for Creative Nonfiction!

Erica Berry's Wolfish is luminously wise and unusually brave, it will stay with you long into the night.

Also a fun opportunity to compare US/UK covers Flatiron Books #Wolfish !

Speaking of TREATS…hey Portland come to Literary Arts tonight at 7pm to hear Oregon Book Award finalists (including me 🦑) read! Readings will be short and sweet with intermission for mingling 🐺🐺🐺🐺

I am in love with this piece by Erica Berry. The other day I was asked if I would ever tire of writing about myself. At first I simply answered 'no,' but then explained why essayists/memoirists aren't simply talking about themselves. This is so well done.
