I am a writer and teacher. 

​

I write literary criticism, reviews, essays, and the occasional feature or profile. My work appears regularly in The New Yorker and has also appeared in Harper's, the New York Times, and the Nation, among other publications. 

​

The Equivalents, my first book, was published in May 2020. It's about a group of women artists and writers who came together at the Radcliffe Institute in the early 1960s. The book describes their creative lives and artistic collaborations and how these things shaped and were shaped by the women's liberation movement. You can read more here.

I am a lecturer in English at Harvard University, where I teach creative writing. I have also taught at Tufts University, Emerson College, and the Harvard Extension School. In prior years, I taught courses in expository writing, history, and literature. I've taught students at all levels, from first-year undergraduates to master's students.

 

I graduated from Harvard's doctoral program in English in May of 2015.
