Research Interests

Kris Brunelli is currently at work on a novel-in-stories, inspired by people experiencing homelessness with whom she lived as a live-in volunteer at the Denver Catholic Worker, from 2012 to 2016. She is also a visual artist; the subjects of her paintings and photographs are often those who’ve inspired her short stories.
