interview after being taught in a university class, & author's note and a flash in a textbook

Matthew Clark Davison and Alice LaPlante just sent a contract, so that must mean that W.W. Norton approved the inclusion of "The Lunatics' Ball" and my accompanying author's note in their textbook THE LAB: EXPERIMENTS IN HYBRID WRITING. Very exciting to know that my work will be in classrooms! Forthcoming spring 2025.

Last fall a graduate student in Jill Talbot's graduate creative writing workshop interviewed me. It's a pretty frank interview, since she's bipolar and was very curious about that aspect of my writing. She did her research, but she was inspired by her initial reading of "Little Colored Pills" in Jill's class. When we did the interview there was no question of publishing it, but now it's come out in AMERICAN LITERARY REVIEW. "Come out" is a good way of putting it, since I'm nervous about putting my bipolar mood disorder out there, and my age out there. But that will be true of the book and I need to get used to it. I like Ashley's title, pulled from the interview: "Creative Nonfiction and Poetic License: An Interview with Jacqueline Doyle."

"Little Colored Pills" will be included in Jill Talbot's forthcoming book from Columbia University Press (where I worked, long ago): ESSAY FORM(S). I'm honored.
