As a child, I moved around a lot. The places I lived that influenced me most are Iowa and Idaho.
When I began studying writing, I wrote poetry and thought of myself as a poet. Sometime in graduate school, I took the lyric, fragmented approach of poetry and began to write prose. I usually write prose these days, generally fiction.
I'm currently working on a YA novel, and beginning work on a book of creative nonfiction.
I earned an MA in Poetry from Western Washington University and a PhD in Fiction from University of Utah. I live in Salt Lake City with my husband, son, and a German Shorthair Pointer.
I teach writing at Salt Lake Community College.

James by Percival Everett

I vacillated between giving this four or five stars, but opted for five because I think the book makes a conscious effort to insert itself into a long line of American novels. The novel itself comments on American history and slavery, of course, but ...more

This was a very charming and silly book. Some lines are laugh out loud funny, ("if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled,") and much of it is amusing. I got a little bogged down in all the nonsense near the end, but it was ultimate ...more

I read Keefe's essay in the New Yorker in 2024, which he wrote when he began researching the death at the center of this book.
Once again, Keefe has taken what could be a simplistic story of one teenager's death and turned it into a wide ranging inves
