WHAT'S NEW
A collection of thirteen linked short memoirs, Virginia’s Apple, is nearly ready to send out to prospective publishers.

In the past decade I have begun to write about the body, its mysteries, breakdowns and recoveries. I am perfectly comfortable using the word "disability" and do so frequently. But at the same time, I find it difficult to separate “disability” from other physical states—as if a person must be either perfect or damaged. This poem is about that: “We Are All Broken.” (Long Love: New and Selected Poems, Salmon Poetry, 2018.)
Two short memoirs were published in the excellent Hospital Drive, a literary journal from the University of Virginia School of Medicine: “Chronic” and “Searching for Truth on the Rehab Ward,” the latter of which tells the story of a subdural hematoma, with accompanying surgery and a long rehabilitation.
“The Wound,” a poem that came out of that experience was featured with an audio recording and an interview on the PBS Newshour’s poetry page.
The poem "Embolisms" was published in Jenny.
“The Walk Home,” published in Creative Nonfiction, summer 2016, won its “best essay prize” for that issue. It was reprinted in Creative Nonfiction, spring 2021 as one of its “favorite prize-winning essays.” I is one of the "Notable Essays of 2016" in The Best American Essays 2017. “True Empathy or Understanding is Rare,” an interview about the memoir by Brianna Snow, is on the Creative Nonfiction website. "The Walk Home" is one of the short memoirs in the just completed manuscript Virginia's Apple.
