Obsessed with all things Cuba, with artists who defy convention to forge their own path, and with creating beauty from the unpredictability of our lives, I’ve been writing my story since 1964.
My essays, poems and short stories have been published in places like The Southern Review, Ninth Letter, South Loop Review, Sonora Review, Tampa Review and The Pinch.
​
A recipient of the Ohio Individual Excellence Award, I hold an MFA in creative nonfiction from The Ohio State University and teach creative writing and marketing for artists online and at the Columbus College of Art & Design.

Both e’s in my name are long.
