ABOUT ME

I was born in an ugly, beige-pink American hospital in Mexico City.  I blame the hospital for my lifetime of curiosity, introspection, and a slight obsession with the topics of identity, culture, and belonging.

I left for college in California, swearing I would never return.  But, as it happens, I missed the taste of fresh corn tortillas.  20 years of writing and teaching later, I still revel in the chalky smell of tortillas fresh off the comal.

I write about that strange mix of being one thing and another, but really neither.  And both at the same time.

I love to read words that dance on a page. And I love to write words that sing.
