| Introduction | I am lucky (?) enough to be at a sort of crossroads in my life. I have a Ph.D. in English and I've taught English to gifted and talented high school students for 11.5 years and now have moved to Europe. I am excited to see what happens next in my continuing adventure. |
| Interests | Writing, photography, literature, music. |
| Favorite movies | To Kill a Mockingbird, I've Loved You So Long, Dancer in the Dark (these last are two of the most disturbing movie I've ever seen and I don't ever want to see them again, but they were so well done that I had to include them). |
| Favorite music | Loreena McKennitt. Also Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Lou Reed and pretty much any gravelly-voiced man out there. Also early U2 and the Cure. |
| Favorite books | Kristin Lavransdatter, To Kill a Mockingbird, Robert Lowell's Life Studies, Ted Hughes' Collected Poems, Emily Dickinson's Collected Poems. |
The love potion you made tastes terrible. How will you drink it?
Put it in some strong black coffee. I think the taste of black coffee (which I love) should mask pretty much anything.
