Hello! I'm Elizabeth. I'm a poet, essayist, editor, fundraiser and educator with a commitment to racial and economic justice. I’ve published my work widely, in places like NPR, Salon, The Rumpus, The Morning News, Scary Mommy, and Passages North. I am an experienced journalist, having worked as a producer for NPR’s All Things Considered and as a freelance writer. I also have years of experience teaching writing — personal essay and memoir in particular. I earned an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of New Mexico, and attended Macalester College and Stuyvesant High School in New York. I’ve lived in intentional community, created the 555 reading series, taught privately and with The Loft, facilitated anti-racism workshops with ASDIC and organized with Reclaim the Block. Currently, I raise funds for Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, co-parent a couple small kiddos, and try not to completely neglect our family dog.
