I teach creative writing and English Lit, edit a (mostly) poetry journal, and try to balance that with an accordion-type family life (one that expands and contracts and expands again). I have a chapbook from Finishing Line Press. I'm happy to talk about almost anything, really, but food is always a good starting point.
