I’m a Birmingham, Alabama-based writer and editor who is curious about the intersections of culture, community and the built and natural environments. I tell those stories through the written word as well as audio, video, social media, speaking engagements and teaching.

The Grief Library

This is a living library of grief books I’ve read and recommend to other mourners. You’ll also find books that are on my radar, and I’ll update them as I read. I’ll publish a new review on the first Friday of each month and an essay, list or other reflection on the third Friday.
