Karen L. Green (1960) [1] is an American artist. Her book Bough Down won the Believer Poetry Award. [2]

She was married to author David Foster Wallace from 2004 until his death in 2008. [3] [4] [5] [6] A year after Wallace's death, Green displayed a piece called The Forgiveness Machine at a gallery in Pasadena near the Los Angeles suburb, Claremont, where she and Wallace had lived in the four years they had been married. [7] For The Guardian, she described the piece as "The idea was that you wrote down the thing that you wanted to forgive, or to be forgiven for, and a vacuum sucked your piece of paper in one end. At the other it was shredded, and hey presto." [7]
