In my private life, I read voraciously and write voluminous quantities of analysis, speculation, introspection, and lyrical prose. Although so much of my professional work has focused on various forms of writing and the interpretation of texts, in my personal work I feel I have undertaken a long apprenticeship and only now am learning to truly speak. Very much of my writing is influenced by a sense of belonging to the turning of seasons, a sense emerging from having spent so much time as a child listening to and dreaming of the woods. Some of this work is available at Outer Sanctum.
