Stories
Storytelling gives everyone a boundary or a margin to contain the world at large, in general ways and specific, as a listener or as a writing participant. I have been performing pieces of personal non-fiction for the public via stage and radio for the past several years and am the host and co-founder of Bramble Stories. Whether it's in a living room with friends or an amphitheater for the larger community, I have learned much about the themes in my own life by crafting these stories and by listening to others tell theirs.
