I write (sometimes). I read (a lot of times). I edit a healthcare journal (too much of the times). I’m tired.

Coauthor of The Routledge Introduction to American Women Writers (2016), sole author of TKTKTK.

If it doesn't give me an intense sensory flashback to the flipping sound of the late-90s analog departure board at Penn Station announcing the Jersey Coast Line departure, what is it even doing here.

what does this perfume smell like (wrong answers only)
marketing copy from a perfume sample I received in the mail that reads: Instructions for use: Unwrap. Open vial. Breathe in. Congratulations! You have just caught a whiff of New York. This is one of the essence of Bond No. 9, the world's first fragrance collection that is sensory homage to the premier metropolis of the twenty-first century. Like nothing before it, Bond No. 9 captures in scents the sights, sounds, and nonstop, in-your-face energy of Manhattan. Here is the incomparable beauty and derring-do of our island metropolis, distilled in liquid form – from skyscrapers to subways to the city's secret hideaways.

Identifying the parameters of “American literature” was one of the hardest parts of trying to write a history of American women writers. It was a constantly evolving definition that eventually stretched across one whole wall of my kitchen

the plants continue to positively thrive in my absence. being a parent is easy!!
5 very happy plants on a sunny windowsill (a zebrina, a rattlesnake calathea, a maranta, a golden pothos, and a very tiny jade plant in a dinosaur planter) plus one very happy snake plant on the floor. There’s also a small round mirror with a bamboo frame leaning on the left wall, reflecting the plants’ glory
