She is the author of the novels Noah&#8217;s Wife (2016) and Monsters We Have Made (2024), a finalist for the Minnesota Book Awards and winner of the Wisconsin Library Association Literary Awards. Her short prose has appeared in Ploughshares, AGNI, and the Southern Review, among other places; her story \u201cBaikal,\u201d published in the New England Review, won a Pushcart Prize.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay&#8217;s teaching is informed by her graduate work in both fiction writing and comparative literature. As director of the MFA program and a tenured faculty member in the English Department, she teaches courses in creative writing, literature, and composition. With one foot in the School of the Arts and the other in the School of Humanities, Lindsay centers her classes on the interdependence of close reading and thoughtful writing, balancing the production of new work with an investigation of literary and artistic experiments of the recent past.<\/p>\n<h2>EDUCATION<\/h2>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"mds-c-text mds-c-text--align-left mds-c-text--color-default mds-c-text--size-med mds-c-text--style-normal mds-c-text--weight-normal\">Yale University, B.A.<\/li>\n<li class=\"mds-c-text mds-c-text--align-left mds-c-text--color-default mds-c-text--size-med mds-c-text--style-normal mds-c-text--weight-normal\">University of Notre Dame, M.F.A.<\/li>\n<li class=\"mds-c-text mds-c-text--align-left mds-c-text--color-default mds-c-text--size-med mds-c-text--style-normal mds-c-text--weight-normal\">University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ph.D<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>PUBLICATIONS (FICTION AND ESSAYS)<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cSafekeeping.\u201d Conjunctions.
