I am an independent writer and teacher.  I grew up in Kentucky and currently live in Chongqing with my partner and daughter.

I am deeply interested in the experience of everyday life, of being in a world.  I’m more concerned with what things are like than what they are.  I am inspired by Sei Shonagon, Clarice Lispector, Ama Ata Aidoo, Lynda Barry, Tori Amos, Zhuangzi, and Revolutionary Girl Utena.

If you’d like to contact me, my email address is tevis at this website (no www).
