| Introduction | Midlife writer who wishes she were mid-career with her publishing. I love all forms of art and, particularly, artists who grate on my nerves and make me think differently. I'm the director of a very small arts organization and teach a few classes in Chicago. I love my husband, my dog, staying up and sleeping late. My students keep me thinking younger. Chicago -- no matter where I am -- is my landscape. |
