| Introduction | This is my 17th year at the University of San Francisco, and I don't think they'll ever let me graduate. I teach Literature and the Environment, Creative Writing: Nonfiction, and 19th- and 20th-century British Literature. My scholarly work has been published in a number of journals and books, and my literary nonfiction has appeared in The Florida Review, Prairie Schooner, and other journals. In 2008, I was a finalist for the Iowa Review Prize in nonfiction and the Brenda Ueland Prize in nonfiction. My literary nonfiction book, MY RUBY SLIPPERS, will be published by the University of Nebraska Press in (sigh) 2011. When I'm not at work, you'll find me digging in my garden in Oakland, where I live with my husband Frederick Marx, who's a filmmaker, and three formerly feral and not very cuddly cats. |
