about Writing
Read an excerpt from an early incarnation of my novel, Everything That Touches Us, (which was titled "The Immortality of Birds" way back when), published in the NYC 92nd Street Y literary journal, Podium, here.
And here are some poems I've published, one of which was a Finalist for the Pushcart Prize.
What I'm Reading
what I've been reading:
All seven volumes of Proust. Really. (finished, but can't bring myself to take it off my list!)
Lincoln in the Bardo, by George Saunders
The North Water, by Ian McGuire
The Underground Railroad, by Colson Whitehead

Most of them variously historical. What not a surprise.

Meditations on the Tarot, Anonymous
The Other Einstein, Marie Benedict
Sonnets to Orpheus, Rainer Maria Rilke
The Last Days of Night, Graham Moore

Hands of Light and Light Emerging by Dr. Barbara Brennan, both books classics in the field
An intriguing essay in Salon about how addiction may not be a disease after all.
about what I'm thinking
epigenetics and the effect of ancestral family trauma on you now:
From the Washington Post: Study finds that fear can travel quickly through generations of mice DNA
From the surprisingly reliable Daily Mail ( UK): Trauma Passes Down the Generations through Our DNA
From PBS.Org: Video: How we inherit the story being told when we are born.
