Retired professor of theatre living in Portland, Oregon.

Two books, both oral history, I've made happen: Singing Away the Hunger, and Basali! Women in Lesotho (now out of print).

"Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart...And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself that you tasted as many as you could"--Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum (2005).
