Garret Keizer
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in my work. I’m the author of six books, the most recent of which is The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want. I am also a contributing editor of Harper’s Magazine and a freelance writer and lecturer. Though I have written on many subjects, ranging from public education to end-of-life care, much of my writing has to do with matters of politics, religion, and justice.
