Naked Conversations: Change of Venue

Who We Are:

LJ: A thirty-something graduate student at the University of Minnesota, Lisa lives for the dangerous dames of hard-boiled fiction and film noir. When she's not blogging (and often when she is) Lisa spends most of her time thinking about and writing about female deviancy. The rest of her time is taken up by her lovely dog, Oedipa.

LLL:I find it difficult trying to sum myself up in a profile. I am complicated and often a mystery to myself (like most of us I think). I am a mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and most of all, a writer. Sometimes angry, often confused, and always pondering how the rest of us are getting on, I write to connect, to find out, to be in conversation. Credentials? Seer, Woodstock Nation citizen (still) and yes, I have an MFA (from The New School) in writing. So, per Marge Piercy, now I have a license to be an artist. It doesn’t change anything, but I always like when people look taken aback when they hear it, like they are surprised I got through school at all. Shocked the hell out of me I must admit.
