I'm Mable,

a writer, artist, and educator. I work as an adjunct professor teaching undergraduate courses in English, creative writing, and communications. In my free time, I write poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, create music and comedic puppet sketches, and work on academic projects.

Originally from Westminster, a rural town near the Baltimore, Maryland area (from whence great things tend to come--see Edgar Allan Poe, Billie Holiday, and Mr. Trash Wheel), I previously worked as a middle school language arts teacher while living in the city, making puppets from found materials, attending slams at Busboys & Poets, and meeting my husband in a lindy hop endurance dancing contest. This perhaps tells you what you need to know.
