I have worked in the publishing industry since I was in high school. I began as a newspaper photographer and writer, and apoet. During college, I was the photo and fiction editor of The Hudson River Antology. After college, I moved to NYC, emulating a romantic vision of Lillian Hellman. I worked at Crown Publishers and Cosmopolitan Magazine, earned my MA at NYU in poetry (studying with Galway Kinnell, Sharon Olds, and Ruth Stone), and then worked for a book packager that published Time Life books and health newsletters for Johns Hopkins and Harvard. I taught at Long Island University and from 1986 until 1995, I wrote and edited secondary-school literature textbooks for several companies. In 1995 I founded Paris Press, a nonprofit independent literary press that publishes and educates the public about groundbreaking yet overlooked work by women. I have published 2 books of poetry, Hyena and Simon Says, a chapbook, and my third collection of poems, Blue Structure, will be released in spring 2016 by Calypso Editions.
