...what I write about?
The intersection of biology, culture, and psyche. I am interested in the various venues which lead from experience to meaning.
...why I write?
Firstly, because it brings joy. It is like catching a beautiful feather wafting on a breeze.
Secondly, it is like deep sea exploration: a delving towards the ocean floor's thermal vents to collect still unknown species and, of course, to bring them to the surface for closer examination.
Thirdly, because it is as unpredictable as herding goats: though I get to move in the intended direction, the specific path is always a surprise.
...who inspires my writing?
Off the top of my head: Helen Luke, Marion Woodman, Robert A. Johnson, Verena Kast, Clarissa Pinkola-Estes, Marie-Louise von Franz, Bruno von Bettelheim, the Brothers Grimm, Richard von Volkmann-Leander, Homer, Carol Gilligan, Deborah Tannen, Jane Kenyon, May Sarton, Donald Kalshed, Mary Oliver, Wendel Berry, Terry Tempest Williams, and many, many others.
...who printed my stuff?
Oregon Humanities Magazine, Calyx, Women Artist's Datebook, Faultlines, Gold Man Review, and others.
