Toward the end of my time in Italy (August 1992-January 2000), I joined the nascent International Women’s Forum Bologna, designed the logo, and for a short time took over the newsletter layout after designer Ann Rathkopf of Maiarelli Studio swapped Bologna for Brooklyn.
It was a full-circle moment when some friends from those days got in touch and asked to write about my experiences in vox@bo, the IWF’s journal. The article on pages 10-11 is followed by my flash fiction piece, “His Bones,” which was shortlisted in the Oxford Flash Fiction Prize in 2024 and anthologized in Transformations.
