Seven years ago she walked into a poetry workshop and found "the window I needed for my imagination." She never painted another painting, and has never stopped writing. She got her BA in English and her MFA in writing at Goddard College OP - 137 CN - PS3552.E5395 S5 1982eb SN - 158729012X SN - 9781587290121 SN - 0877451168 SN - 9780877451167 SN - 0877451176 SN - 9780877451174 KW - Short stories.
