California Writer

California Writer: I've just wrote a three-generation memoir about my grandmother's life, my mother's, and my life until I am a young writer publishing prose and poetry titled titled 'I Can Hear Them Singing." I was co-author of the book "Shooting Women: Behind the Camera, Around the World" as well as published numerous essays of literary criticism. I've published five books of poetry: "Under the Ladder to Heaven," "Desert Soldiers," "Shulamith," "Walker Woman,"and "What Were They Like?" I've also edited "Walking through a River of Fire: 100 Years of Triangle Factory Fire Poetry" and along with David Joseph edited "Every Day is an Act of Resistance: Selected Poems of Carol Tarlen." I've been an oral historian of early 20th century Los Angeles, a grunt at a publishing house, a TV producer, a radio producer, a free-lance writer, a college professor in both psychology and English, and a waitress and secretary.
