Academic History
My undergraduate degree is in psychology from Marlboro College.
From Vermont I went to the Iowa Writer's Workshop. Then I
studied Clinical Psychology at the University of Massachusetts.
Later I got a graduate degree in psychology from Goddard College
and then a PhD in Comparative Literature at the University
of Massachusetts. I studied philosophy at the University of
Freiburg in Germany and literature at the Sorbonne in France.
