      "I am originally from Michigan, Motown to be exact. I quit school after every degree--or maybe I just graduated and stopped going to school...I don't know but I always went back. MFA at Indiana, PhD at Cincinnatti (stay away from the 3-way chili). Hobbies? Hiking, biking, gardening, cooking. Art is not a hobby: it's a necessary part of my intellectual life."
