Staff: Jill

Jill is obsessed with honu and pirates. She thinks Murray Bail's "Eucalyptus" is genius, that Joan Didion is unmatched, and that a copy of Jack Gilbert's "The Great Fires" should be in everyone's backpack. Jill has an M.F.A. in Creative Writing and her first novel is scheduled for publication in April, 2008. Her three-year-old son knows Sandra Boynton's hippos are wicked cool and that David Shannon's "No David" is giggle-worthy.
