Ontology
"Notable Essay" in Best American Essays 2010.

This essay, included in the summer 2009 issue of Harpur Palate literary magazine, is about pregnancy loss. Although the essay is only 744 words and was written over a period of a couple days, it incubated for 18 years. If you read it (sorry it's not online), I hope you'll write to me and share your response to it, particularly if you've also been through this experience.

A Place at the Table
