Two ravens and one of the local ospreys, top.

I have a brief creative nonfiction essay in issue 59 of Dinty Moore’s Brevity. All the work there is nonfiction and very short (under 750 words). My true story, “A Murder of Crows,” recounts an event from some years ago at a local summer camp.

This journal’s website has been a valuable resource for my college students over the past ten years. Students read essays and write précis on craft essays found at the same site. Then they go on to write their own creative nonfiction.

My work has been featured several (8? 9?) times on the Brevity blog.*

The osprey from another angle. (I know this should be a photo of crows.)

• I went to the Brevity blog and did a count. Thirteen times. Who knew?
