| Bio: | I'm a native of Centralia, Illinois, a town of about fourteen thousand people, roughly sixty-five miles east of St. Louis, Missouri and 270 miles south of Chicago, Illinois. I've lived in several cities and states.* I became a resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 4, 2007 and began teaching at a university here in Fall 2007.
If you're at all interested, you can find me also at another site, one that's rather shallow but splashy. See http://www.myspace.com/dabroots
*Urbana and Champaign, Illinois; New Orleans, Louisiana; New York City, New York; Boston and Somerville, Massachusetts; Greensboro and Kernersville, North Carolina; Spencer and Bloomington, Indiana; Lawrenceville, New Jersey; Brooklyn and New York City (again) , New York; Centralia, Illinois (again, but only for eight months from April through December 28, 2006); and Lubbock, Texas from 12/29/06 until early on the morning of 7/4/07.
Place for me is the locus of desire. Places have influenced my life as much as, perhaps more than, people. I fall for (or into) places faster and less conditionally than I do for people.—Lucy Lippard, from The Lure of the Local: Senses of Place in a Multicentered Society
