As an adult, shes had guns waved in her face near Standing Rock, and felt their silent threat on the concealedcarry campus where she teaches. And she has always known that in this she is not alone.

The Worry Line explores the gun and gang violence in her neighborhood the year her daughter was born. At the Workshop focuses on her graduate school years, during which a workshop classmate repeatedly killed off thinly veiled versions of her in his stories.
