[HTML1]More about Lisa Catherine Harper
Lisa Catherine Harper is an Adjunct Professor of Writing in the University of San Francisco’s Master of Fine Arts in Writing Program, where she teaches nonfiction writing workshops as well as seminars in modern and contemporary prose. She holds a B.A. in English from Princeton University, where she studied in the Creative Writing program, and an M.A. in Creative Writing and Ph.D. in English from the University of California, Davis.
Lisa’s writing has appeared online and in print in places like Babble, Poetry Foundation, Huffington Post, Glimmer Train, Offsprung, Gastronomica, Literary Mama, and Lost. She has recently co-edited The Dish: Making the Food that Makes Your Family, an anthology of writing about family food culture. With Caroline Grant, her co-editor, she blogs about how and why she feeds her family at Learning to Eat.
Lisa is the author of A Double Life: Discovering Motherhood, which won the 2010 River Teeth Literary Nonfiction Prize. A personal story set against the backdrop of science, A Double Life explores the physical, mental, and emotional transformations of motherhood.
Harper was born in New Jersey, and lived and worked in New York City, London, Belfast, Amsterdam, Paris, the French Alps, and Austin, TX before settling in Northern California, more by accident than design.
She lives in a modest Eichler home with her husband, Kory Heinzen, an Art Director at PDI/Dreamworks, with whom she co-founded the San Francisco Jitterbugs. They taught, performed and competed in vintage swing dances for years before the birth of their daughter, Ella. Once, they placed 6th at the US Open.
Now, in addition to writing and teaching, she is a full-time mother to her daughter, Ella, and her son, Finn.
