Jessica Treat

My three short story collections: A Robber in the House, Not a Chance and Meat Eaters & Plant Eaters, published in 1993, 2001 and 2009, are available from Coffee House Press, FC2, and BOA Editions, respectively. Currently I'm working on new fiction and on translating poetry and fiction from Spanish. I was born in Canada but grew up in New England with a year in Spain. During the 80's I lived in Mexico City, then in Brooklyn for five years after that; at present I live in a small town in Berkshires (Mass). I'm interested in language, culture, art, politics, and the natural world.
