Liz Breen

April 10, 2024

It’s Not So Bad, Really (Memoir), Natick, MA

(c) David DiNisco

Ungroomed explores the erotic charge often present in pedagogy and how, for many young women, this charge can lead to coercive relationships with older men.

“I hope to begin a conversation about immoral relationships that are not illegal, the long-term effects these relationships have, and what consequences (if any) should exist.”

Liz Breen is a writer living outside of Boston. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in Kenyon Review, Passages North, Cleaver Magazine, Columbia Journal, and elsewhere. Her fiction was featured in the Wigleaf Top 50, and her nonfiction was named runner-up for the Passages North Ray Ventre Memorial Nonfiction Prize and a finalist for the Ploughshares Emerging Writer Contest. Her work often explores uncomfortable ambivalences and the gray areas we pretend are black and white. She can be found online at lizbreen.com.
