One of the first Grand Canyon boatwomen in the 1970s and 80s, I continued my water-driven life as a fluvial (stream) geologist and writer specializing in rivers, river culture, and arid environments.
I’m the author of hundreds of essays, poems, and stories, most recently in Terrain.org, Writers on the Range, and Audubon.org.
I’ve presented on river systems, climate & water writing, and women in nature at bookshops and conferences throughout North America. I also guide Literary Bird Walks for people of all abilities in parklands and wildlife refuges.
