Here are two links to pieces I have on a couple of small online journals. Both pieces are part of my MFA thesis, which explores the relationship between my parents' courtship, marriage, and divorce, and my first major relationship at seventeen years old. I'm working on a particular use of the present tense in my writing; although my thesis takes place entirely in the past, I'm interested in the conflation of time, so that the insight of an adult narrator can very subtly shadow that of my characters at different points in the narrative, analyzing their motivations with each other. The two links I'm posting show pieces centered on my parents, whose romance, for me, is as Kathryn Harrison's describes in The Kiss--a lifelong obsession of all sons and daughters. Thanks for reading!
