Sand Hills Literary Magazine

I received my copy of Sand Hills Spring 2020 this weekend. The book–it’s pages, print quality, and binding–is beautifully made. The editors and writers over at Augusta University did a great job. It’s my first university print publication. And when I looked on the Contents pages, I noticed that my story is one of only Read More

My high school box

friends . long island . nostaglia

I love titling my blog posts. So my parents live here now and with them came many boxes from their attic back in Malverne, NY. My dad dropped off said boxes the other day. One was of books from college. Boring. Straight to Good Will. One was filled with American Girl Dolls. More on this Read More

Lieselotte Landgrebe, 1932-2016

family . long island . motherhood

My grandmother died last month. Below is the eulogy that I wrote for her and read at her funeral… Oma wasn’t your typical grandma/nana type.
