contemporary life. Her stories “The Clearing” and
“Self-Portrait in Camouflage” recently won
Pushcart Special Mentions, and an essay “Sufi Dancing
with Dad,” is forthcoming in Wild in our Breast for
Centuries: Women and the Recurring Realities of War

Through the
NC Humanities Council Speakers Forum, Hudson is
available for talks in North Carolina on the subjects of
Virginia Dare (first English child born in
America), slave poet George Moses Horton (first
black man to publish a book in the South), and Mosaic
Writing (a form of fractured prose in which several
genres of writing combine in a pattern to make a whole).
She is also available to speak for libraries,
universities, historical societies, churches, arts
councils, senior centers, and literary festivals in the
Mid-Atlantic region.
Hudson also works creating and collaborating on public
art and literature projects, including community reads,
art shows, and events. In 2005-06, Hudson collaborated
with artist Karrie Hovey to produce an arts installation
“Consciousness Resuscitated,” commenting on
September 11, based on an essay by Hudson published in
North Carolina Literary Review.
