An American who has spent close to 66 years speaking only English. The deep interest in Aboriginal culture, Inuit culture, Dakota and Ojibwe culture is real, researched over many years, and treated with respect — but the position is clear: inside English, looking through it, using it as the tool to reach toward what has been studied and loved from the outside.

The practice is rooted in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota. Multi-domain creative work spanning writing, sound, visual, and performance. The practice treats found text — product warning labels, voice recordings, discarded language — as raw material for finished literary work.
