Currently I am at work on a poetry collection whose working title is “Sacraments of the Flesh,” a collective biography titled “Rogues and Renegades in the Evergreen State,” and a critical biography of Annie Dillard on a back burner.
In 2023. I finished writing a first-person book of creative nonfiction, Interrogating Travel: Guidance from a Reluctant Tourist. Resulting from visits to Albania, Austria, the Bahamas, Belize, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, French Polynesia, Hawai’i, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, Spain, and Thailand, the book regards travel as one of the most poorly regulated and often predatory industries on the planet.
In France I have delivered these three presentations:
- “Thinking Like a River,” Ecopoetics Perpignan, Perpignan, France, June 23, 2016.
- “The Contested Grounds of North American Rodeo.” Center for Western U.S. Asia/Pacific Studies. Sorbonne Université Paris. Nov. 12, 2004.
- “An Iconography of Sabotage.” Center for Western U.S. and Asia/Pacific Studies. Sorbonne Université Paris. November 8, 2002.
