Visiting Writer at Housatonic Community College

After reading my memoir, Afoot in Connecticut, Peter Everett of the Housatonic Community College library invited me to be this semester's visiting writer. I gave an open lecture about fiction and nonfiction writing for about fifty people, and enjoyed it immensely. I hope some of the students and teachers who attended did, too. You can read more about it in the article here.

Building a Better Argument

Read my 'closing thought' in this season's alumni magazine Knightlines. It is called "Building a Better Argument" and could be a primer on how not to argue with people on the internet. As an example I chose Ezra Pound's ABC of Reading, which I loved during college and now feel less enthused about. So, if you're a big Pound fan, you might not like it.

Otherwise...Enjoy!
