Her most significant work has been in stylistic hybrid forms built upon poems and rendered as short stories. She has published two books of short stories, &quot;Squandering the Blue&quot; (1990) and &quot;Small Craft Warnings&quot; (1997). She has also published four books of poetry. She has won three Best American Short Stories awards, an O. Henry Award, Carver Short Story Award, as well as the Economist Prize and an Isherwood Fellowship. She is also the first recipient of Graywolf Press Creative Nonfiction Award for Frantic Transmissions to and from Los Angeles: An Accidental Memoir, published February 2006.
