My self-summary
I am a writer and poet, one, bear with me here, of the “major” writers of the late 20th century, though just typing that felt desperate. I received a B.A. in English at Humboldt State University, then went on to attend the esteemed Iowa Writers’ Workshop, thus launching my career. I also like to drink.

“It ought to make us feel ashamed when we talk like we know what we’re talking about when we talk about love.”
-Raymond Carver
I love this idea—the way any story is an amalgam between the written version and your own experience. We could have a contest where people draw the kitchen table in my story, or in Carver’s, and everyone would depict it differently. The round table you had growing up, or plates on the wall in…
Well it’s not a contest, exactly, Nathan Englander would probably love it if you photo-replied to his post with a sketch of the kitchen you imagine when you read “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.”
I basically picture the kitchen from That 70s Show, for the record.
