🇮🇸, here I come. As a fellow UNESCO City of Literature, Reykjavík has launched an annual residency for writers from around the world. In November, I'll interview Icelandic authors and attend readings. Once I have a sense of their literary culture, I’ll write a story to be translated into Icelandic.

“We are completely interdependent,” said Margo Okazawa-Rey. “Let us reclaim & reinforce our commitments to each other. We've given away too much of our power partly because we think what we are doing is individual.” #cohimbeerivercollective @townhallseattle.bsky.social @uwpubliclectures.bsky.social

My memoir will be published by @redhenpress.bsky.social on October 6, 2026. DESIRE LINES is an investigation into the emotional topography of womanhood.
At its heart is Cybele—the great mother goddess I pursued through pagan temples, the archives of the Louvre, and the deepest reaches of history.
