Susan Kolodny’s poems appear in many journals including New England Review and The Beloit Poetry Journal, and in several anthologies, most recently The Place that Inhabits Us--Poems of the San Francisco Bay Watershed. Her first collection, After the Firestorm, is now in print from Mayapple Press. Susan is also a psychoanalyst practicing in Oakland where she works with artists, writers, and others and is the author of The Captive Muse (PsychoSocial Press2000).
Leonore Wison has taught at various universities and colleges in the San Francisco Bay Area. She continues to live on her family cattle ranch in Napa, California. She has won fellowships to the University of Utah and Villa Montalvo Center for the Arts. Her work has been in such magazines as Quarterly West, Madison Review, Third Coast, Poets Against the War, Nimble Spirit, and Trivia: Voices of Feminism. An advanced review for Western Solstice from Cathy Colman, author of Borrowed Dress and Beauty’s Tattoo is: " Leonore Wilson’s Western Solstice contains poems that spring whole and marvelous, shimmering from the earth. Born from a profound, wide-ranging, original and feminine mind, they bewitch the reader with a lush, passionate voice that is ‘all impulse of towards’ and a tensile form that is as breathtaking as its content. This book is a true treasure.” RSVP to save your seat by January 24.
