About
After 30 years of teaching writing at UC Berkeley, where I received a Distinguishing Teaching Award, I moved to Austin, Texas where I continued to write but also began to take photography more seriously. During the years I lived there (2015-2021) I often found myself at the Texas State Capitol protesting and taking photos. Three of those photos are collected in the digital archive of the Austin History Center and two of them were shown in Taking it to the Streets: A Visual History of Protest and Demonstration in Austin. Those two photographs also made their way into an exhibition at the Bullock Texas State History Museum as an addition to the traveling exhibition This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement. Recently I moved to my home state of New Mexico--still writing and taking photos.
All photographs on this site were taken by me with the exception of the photograph of me, which was taken by Jamie Clifford at A Room of Her Own Conference held in 2013 at the Georgia O'Keeffe Ghost Ranch in Abiqui, New Mexico, where I offered a writing workshop.
