I’ve spent the past few years finding my way back into a writing life after 25+ years of child-rearing and wage-earning.

In past decades, I published the chapbook Poem for the Fire and other Kindling (Molten Rock Press, 1990) and my work appeared in the Boston Globe, the Boston Phoenix Literary Supplement, Studia Mystica, lift, and Stuff Magazine. In the early 1990s, I was twice a resident of The Farm, Kate Millett’s legendary Art Colony for Women in Poughkeepsie, NY. For several years, I led the Poetry Workshop at the Boston Center for Adult Education, a later iteration of the same workshop attended by Anne Sexton and Maxine Kumin in the 1950s.

More recently, I’ve published poems and reviews in the Lily Poetry Review, where I was a Pushcart Prize nominee for my poem “Grief’s People.” Lily Poetry Review Books published my chapbook, A Violet A Jennifer, in 2022, and I have recent poems in the Poetry is Bread Anthology, edited by Tina Cane, and The Ekphrastic Review.
