My Writing Life

What I’m Reading…

I am constantly inspired by other writers and I usually have 3 or 4 books going at once. Here is a list of what is on my desk now.

"The Fact of a Doorframe", Adrienne Rich

A good re-read, to see the point in Rich’s career where her poems become infused with her mature voice and gravitas.

"Evicted", Matthew Desmond

A dramatically ambitious ethnographic account of families whose poverty, even as we breathe, is fueled by brutal, indifferent housing policies.

"Awakening Grassroots Spirituality: A Celtic Guide for Nurturing and Maturing the Soul", Edwin M. Leidel, Jr.

A book written by the first bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Michigan while on sabbatical in Wales and Cork in 2003. A psychologically sophisticated walk through the commonplace “deserts” in which we moderns lose ourselves (powerlessness, meaninglessness, confusion) and accessible discussion of how to find our way “back.”

Publications

My writing has spanned a range of genres and continues to do so.  We live multivalent lives that can’t be fully captured in a single literary form.  What follows is a partial bibliography.
