She has taught literature and creative writing at many places, including the University of Iowa Writers Workshop, Williams College, and the University of California-Irvine. She’s a board member and volunteer for Street Books, a mobile-library for people living outdoors and a network of care built around a shared love of books.

Our events, classes, and seminars bring the community together to hear, learn, and discuss the most compelling issues and ideas of our day. We hope you will join us in our community space and bookstore at 716 SE Grand Avenue, Portland, OR, online, and at partnering venues across Portland and Oregon.
