Dear Inner Critic—Interview by Ariel Gore

sepia tone image of human, on the floor, with papers and material spread out, writing on a notecard.

I am so grateful for Ariel Gore‘s invitation to chat about Dear Inner Critic: a self-doubt activity book and other salient things. Read our interview here. Ariel’s Literary Kitchen (aka School for Wayward Writers) is where Dear Inner Critic was born, so to share the book’s story there warms my heart.

If you are like me, you know in your bones that these times call for much inspiration and fortification! So please do whatever you can to support independent, collective, human-scale publishing, and eschew the monsters of big capitalism!

Head over to the Literary Kitchen’s Underground Book Shelter to purchase fabulous, unique, humanity-expanding books.

Dispatches from Utopia

My latest essay, “You Never Know: On Memory and Memoir and Packing Light,” is now online at Reading and Traveling. This piece is among the fabulous Dispatches from Utopia that we Wayward Writers wrote at (or after) camp in the Catskills in April 2024.

My piece centers on the gap-filled memories of the 1972 inaugural Rainbow Family Gathering, which I attended when I was five, with my young parents.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity and space (at the Mutual Aid Society in the Catskills, a new utopia forged by Adrian Shirk and others) to unearth & investigate these bits of light, and grateful to Ariel Gore and the amazing, badass campers for their curiosity, hearts, and willingness to play.
