Here's an audio interview about my writing, particularly my latest books of poetry, fiction and nonfiction.
Since receiving my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1996, my work has been dedicated to writing and teaching about how individual and collective traumas have affected women's lives and working to heal those traumas in ways that are empowering, joyful, and mutually affirming.
I am the author of 16 books and audio publications ranging from scholarly work to fiction and nonfiction, and my poetry has been nominated 6 times for a Pushcart Prize.
From 2009-2015, I was a monthly columnist for Literary Mama, named one of the 101 best websites for writers by Writers' Digest. My Birthing the Mother Writer column provides the kind of helpful, behind-the-scenes advice and insight that I teach in my programs.
I have also blogged for The Huffington Post about work-life balance, politics, religion, love, and race, gender and sexuality.

From 2009-2013, I hosted the The Co-Creating Show, a weekly podcast featuring creative inspiration and interviews with writers such as the US Poet Laureate Joy Harjo and and creativity experts such as Laraine Herring and Eric Maisel.
