Professor Wasserstein is the latest addition to the wonderful Department of English at CSUSB. Is it something about people from the Midwest that makes them inherently nice and polite? I don’t know but she is both!
Izzy was born and raised in Kansas. She’s the author of two poetry collections, This Ecstasy They Call Damnation and When Creation Falls, the short story collection All the Hometowns You Can't Stay Away From (a Lambda Literary Award finalist), and the forthcoming novella These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart (Tachyon, 2024). My home includes a dog and two cats. I'm a queer and trans woman, a lover of bad jokes, and a nerd.
Her education includes a B.A., Washburn University in Kansas and a M.F.A., University of New Mexico.
