My essays and fiction have appeared in Gulf Coast, The Kenyon Review, The Paris Review Daily, and elsewhere, and my opinions in Literary Hub, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Jewish Currents, where I’m a contributing writer. I hold M.F.A. degrees from Brooklyn College and the University of Iowa, and have received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony, the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, Yaddo, and the Constance Saltonstall Foundation, among others, for my work on several books-in-progress. I am a 2023-24 GIDEST Fellow at The New School.
I’m interested in subverting conventions of narrative, staging divergent voices in conversation, and using the personal as a prism for investigating questions of social and political consequence.
My book Feels Like Trouble: Transgressive Takes on Teaching, Writing, and Publishing is forthcoming from the University of New Orleans Press, and my booklet of lyric fictions, Because Sex Is a Story & Sex Is a Song, is available. I teach at The New School and have an active practice as a writing coach.
