Great to see that my essay "Living on the Hyphen," published in the fall 2014 issue of Oxford American, has been selected as notable in The Best American Essays 2015, edited by Ariel Levy. This news was made even more awesome by the fact that three other Vela writers–Eva Holland, Amanda Giracca, and Amy Butcher–are in the notables as well. Hurrah for women essaysists!
