we emerge from youth all wide-eyed like the rest

I'm an MFA candidate in poetry and a 101 Teaching Assistant at West Virginia University. I knit, I write, I cook. I'm this close to ending up as a crazy cat lady.

My favorite music:

The Weakerthans

comments:  Amazingly beautiful. Sometimes silly. Always well-written.

The Decemberists

comments:  Awesomely weird, or weirdly awesome. Baroque, I think I would call it.

Patsy Cline

comments:  Because everyone needs a little sad country music in their lives.

The Shins

Editors

comments:  Just discovered them. I love the singer's voice.

My favorite movies:

Stranger Than Fiction

Hiyao Miyazaki

comments:  everything he's ever done.

The Last Unicorn

Serenity

John Hughes

comments:  Because I grew up in the 80s, and learned everything about relationships from him, which could potentially be a problem.

My favorite authors:

Jane Austen

comments:  Tried and true. Anyone who can make me laugh after several hundred years deserves top billing.

Lucille Clifton

comments:  Fantastic and tough

Lawrence Ferlinghetti

comments:  sounds like spaghetti, but actually a Beat Poet

Christopher Moore

comments:  Just for Lamb.

JD Salinger

comments:  duh
