Headlands Center for the Arts

Artist Statement

My life and my writing are symbiotic: they feed each other, they eat each other. I’ve written a genre-bending work on lesbian erasure called My Autobiography of Carson McCullers and a collection of essays, Thin Skin, that examines the permeability of the body and self through the lens of toxicity. At this moment, I am interested in finding ways to slow down the writing process and sit with uncertainty, in resistance to the swiftness and clarity the market demands.

While at Headlands

I will be working on two book-length projects that I’ve been thinking of as a diptych: one is an experimental archival inventory and the other is a novel called The Crabapples.
