Born in NYC now living in San Francisco, I've been working on a memoir for over ten years—Burned—about a tragic accident in Cape Cod that severely burned my parents. That book will come out in April 2010 from Atlas and Co. Before that I wrote two books of poetry—Keeping Watch and The Houses are Covered in Sound—and then I co-authored a non-fiction book How to Bury a Goldfish. I also teach full time at City College of San Francisco—and look forward to talking about my new book!"
