Interleavings: Serendipity and the Auto/Biographical Process
I found Dr. Remick’s name in a Little School folder. What was it doing there? It turns out that at the same time Dr. Remick was an affirmative action officer and attended that Women’s Studies meeting, she was the parent of a Little School pupil when it was in the Bellevue facility.
The Finest Work Songs: Alan Lau and Susie Kozawa
On October 18th, Alan Lau and Susie Kozawa (longtime collaborators and working artists) will be revisiting a piece that they originally presented at the Seattle Art Museum in 1996. Lau’s part, initially a response to the Seattle Art Museum’s exhibit “In The American Grain,” will provide a reading poetry as well as words from four modernist American artists, while Kozawa will respond to Lau’s poetry as well as the space itself. Over e-mail, I asked the two to talk about their experiences with artistic collaboration, their experience with this piece, and with each other.

Priscilla Stuckey Kisses Foxes
Though Stuckey has always been a nature lover, the point in the book where everything seems to truly begin is when she first sees a bald eagle on Lopez Island, at an especially dark period in her life.

From this point forth Stuckey’s focus shifts to direct and personal communication with nature.

Interleavings: Serendipity and the Auto/Biographical Process
Biographical and autobiographical writing entwine. Why did I choose to write about a woman I never met and had no ties to—except for my interest in Jewish women’s history and the field of Psychoanalysis? Immediately the writer’s self is injected into the story. Sometimes Dr. Buxbaum turns up in my dreams, and in the morning I have to sort out the dream so it won’t get mixed up with biography.
