She is in her second (last) year in the MFA program at Missoula, Mt. and is now an online editor for the journal. It's a classy publication. Link below. http://www.cutbankonline.org/

- In case any of you believe that I've been kidnapped by facebook, quit writing, or ran away to live on the beach in Moorea (although that's always a possibility), let me update you that I've been busy writing. Today an essay of mine was accepted by the NYTimes. I'll keep you all posted on the publication date. It will not be in MODERN LOVE. It will be in the science/health section. One ...

- I'm away from my patients for ten days - working toward a deadline for an essay on animal intelligence that I'm both anxious to write and happy to get off my plate. My husband, photographer Adam Bacher, is in NYC with the press corps for Clinton's Global Initiative, which starts Tuesday. He's attending a conference with Pres. Kagami of Rwanda on Monday. This has all come about quickly and ...

- True heroes don't wake up in the morning and say 'I think I'll be a hero today.' Heroes understand what needs doing and do it.The phrases 'in the trenches' and 'on the front lines' were originally used to describe troops in battle. These days, they have meaning in addition to positions in war; they are often used to describe dangerous and critical occupations: physicians, nurses, EMTs, ...

- Or is it a woman thing? Or is it a personal narcissistic ritual that has no connection with any reality whatsoever? I have a reading on Monday evening. Part of my weekend is editing down a 20 page short story for a 20 minute reading. Which also means I'll be walking around the house holding a watch and talking to myself (well, reading aloud actually). The other part of my weekend is ...

- When I moved to Portland, OR and got to know some of the writers here, I discovered they were a group of jogging, coffee-swilling granola-eating types. A great Saturday night date was a reading at Powell's books and an espresso. I was disappointed - not in the reading scene, but I had imagined that the writing life in the Pacific Northwest would lead to alcoholism on a grand scale. These ...

- I look at my dashboard daily. I watch the peaks after I post a new entry and the leveling off after it's gone from the blog posts. It's gratifying that there is a core readership so that I've never dropped down to zero (close but no cigar), even during weeks or months when I just haven't had time to update my site. Whoever you are, thanks.I've had an exceptionally busy spring - a short ...

- Even if you're too young to remember him as a news anchor, you can read about him in every newspaper and see clips of him on television. I was just a young girl when JFK was shot, but I remember hearing Cronkite's voice break when he announced the death of our young president. I remember his childlike glee when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon. I remember watching the news with my ...

- Huntington - This is a public thank you for the new notification feature on our blogs. While I love roaming all the blogs, it's nice to know when someone has commented on a blog and/or commented on a comment. Thanks again.

- I'm a writer first, and a reviewer second. It's difficult for me to imagine the word 'critic' after my name, as in Evelyn Sharenov, 'book critic,' restaurant critic,' theatre critic,' opera critic.' There is hypocrisy in this - I admit it. I write reviews and literary criticism for money. And I'm a card-carrying member of the National Book Critics Circle (well, they don't send out ...

- The Show and Tell Gallery in Portland is running an every-Monday reading+music series. I've been invited to read on Monday August 10th, 7-8PM. I pick a co-reader and a musician/s. My good friend and fabulous writer Megan Kruse will read with me - we'll both be presenting new material. I'm hoping to convince Kate Mann, a fabulous guitarist, to join us. Kate has been travelling with her ...
