Interview - Under the Gum Tree

There's a good interview of me at Under the Gum Tree.

Last October, the journal published my essay on traveling from the Bay Area to Yosemite trying to figure out where home was after Evelyn died, and how each landscape along the way — coastal, Central Valley, foothills, and mountains — nurtured me in different ways. You can read the interview at this link:
