Climate newsletter
Find me on my new Substack, where I keep tabs on our changing climate. Sometimes earnestly, mostly not.
Highlighting local writers
In this piece for TAPinto Princeton, I interviewed the acclaimed Ethiopian writer, Mihret Sibhat, who happened to be over-wintering in our town.
Eyeballing the hyperobject
For my Substack, I reviewed Lydia Kiesling’s Mobility, and John Vaillant’s Fire Weather. Both books bring us chillingly close to climate reality, even as we try to look away.
Animal Gaze
A non-fiction essay in the journal Panorama: the Journal of Travel, Place, and Nature. In this piece I contemplate a surprise connection with animals when they turn their eyes back on me.
Great Zimbabweans
In commemoration of Zimbabwe’s 40th year of independence, photographer Hannah Mentz produced a visual media project to highlight 40 inspiring Zimbabweans. In partnership with Sara Davies and Jane Snelgrove, I co-edited the essays that accompanied Hannah’s portraits, all of which are published in the limited edition coffee table book, Great Zimbabweans.
Texan stories
A long time ago I blogged about early parenting in the Lone Star State. I keep threatening my (older, wiser) children that I’ll start writing about them again. While that sword dangles, here are the archives.
