In autumn 2014 I’ll be teaching a graduate craft of literature course through the University of Arizona Program in Creative Writing called Literature of Social Justice, surveying social justice literature from its roots in the Hebrew Bible through contemporary writers such as Barbara Kingsolver, Eric Reece, James Baldwin, Rebecca Solnit, and Linda Hogan.  Stay tuned for the reading list, which I’ll post online.
