Hey there...

Two things have been constant throughout my life: books and films. Both were my teachers that helped me to better understand the world and my place in it. That education has never left me: I find stories that inspire or inform, and make them accessible. It has carried me through four decades of library work and writing, and now into archival research for film. Before any of the professional work, I studied writing with Allen Ginsberg at Naropa University and founded Winter Creek Press in 1989.

When I'm not working, I'm usually in the kitchen or the woods — cooking, carving spoons, or learning the Japanese wagatabon tradition.

It all comes back to craft.
