Q&A I’m incessantly commenting on my students’ stories YOU FORGOT ABOUT THEIR BODIES! WHAT ARE THEIR BODIES DOING? Q&A I rely very heavily — maybe too heavily — on intuition, both in life and in writing. Q&A When I write, I’m always looking for how to investigate the ways we see the world and make room for connection despite and among mechanic systems that often feel constant, so I reach for creating worlds on the page that do not reinforce this monotony. Q&A I love embedded narratives, shifts in point of view, collage — anything that gives a sense of texture. Q&A I always want to write about sex. FICTION “They’re in imagination land. Each of them is a giant and they’re fighting over who will be the next queen of giant land.”
