Self-Intro [by Mark]

"Retired" from SLU in 2010-2011, I've been  working at St. Louis Community College and Maryville University as tutor and adjunct, and have been doing my own outside-of-academia classes since 2012.

I published a novel in 2015 (Dear Layla) and  am working on an unfinishable project I call Dear Love of Comrades (which is a phrase I've borrowed from Walt Whitman).

Two  of my current projects are learning Yiddish and reading Hugo's Les Misérables.

I live on Chouteau Avenue in Forest Park Southeast in Saint Louis with my partner Joanie French, who is a Feldenkrais Practitioner. 

This is a photo from 2017 when I visited the Burkempers in Troy, Missouri; from left--Ben, Anne,  Liz, and Sarah.
