Surprise Me! | Talking Writing

Not sure what to read next? Try your luck here:

media debate • books • movies

I sometimes forget that the most effective creative writing has nothing to do with schooling or publishing.

why I write • faith • visual art

In many ways, remembering is a leap of faith, just as writing is.

advice • teaching • interviews

In many of my interviews, I asked people whether they thought there was a telepathic element to creating art.

fiction • memoir • writer's life

The pictures were mostly of Julie posing naked, like you’d see in a magazine.

featured poets • poetry spotlights

I would be a day. I’d run around after myself. I would cohere.

from adoption to writerly sins...

My memories of loved ones are always intertwined with food.
