Born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania, I earned a BA at Oberlin College and hold an MFA from Brown University. I’m also the author of two books of poetry and my essays, reviews, and interviews are found at places like The Rumpus, The Los Angeles Review of Books, LongReads, and The Brooklyn Rail. One of my essays was named a notable mention in The Best American Food Writing of 2020 and The Best American Science and Nature Writing of 2020. Along with my husband and two daughters, I live in the Blue Ridge of central Virginia, where I work in local journalism and teach writing in the community.

Book review: “By paying close attention to an animal often seen but rarely observed, Howsare reveals that deer are far more mysterious and complicated—and far more deeply embedded in our lives and collective histories—than they may seem. The Age of Deer is a wonderfully perceptive, absorbing, and rewarding exploration of life in all its interconnected forms.” — Michelle Nijhuis, author of Beloved Beasts: Fighting for Life in an Age of Extinction
