I enjoy:

• abstract images

• adaptations of myths & fairy tales

• art history

• birds

• book-binding

• children's & YA literature

• cloud-watching

• etymology

• found poems, altered text, and other experiments with words

• mail-art

• novels (esp. 19th c. British literature)

• pamphlets & zines

• photography

• postcards

• signs & symbols

• trees

• walking

• wildflowers

I hesitate to list any particular dislikes, but here's one: I'd prefer not to receive any images related to hunting, fishing, or eating meat.

In my "day job," which is also often a "night job," I teach Latin, Greek, and Classics at a small college.

My favorite authors include Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, Angela Carter, and Jane Austen. I also enjoy reading children's literature and retellings of myths and fairytales.

Taking photographs; binding books and designing pamphlets; making collages and abstract pieces.

This probably goes without saying, but please let me know if you haven't received something from me when you should have--I haven't dropped the ball so far, and I'd like a chance to re-send if something got lost in the mail. And I promise to rate my partners in a timely way, too.
