Concerned citizen, Journalist, Parent, Writer/Editor

I've been a Writer at Large at the New York Times Magazine since 2006 and am also writer at large for Pop-Up Magazine, a live magazine, performed on stage. I've also contributed to The New Yorker, Wired, This American Life, Radiolab and many other magazines and radio shows and often collaborate with members of the Decemberists on musical storytelling projects. My first book was called WILD ONES. My new book is THIS IS CHANCE!, about the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake and radio reporter Genie Chance.

Learning new things, my family.

All of us are strong enough to be kind to other people.

Amateurism, learning quickly

I like this place.

Cooking.
