She is a native New Yorker who suffered transplantation to “Messy
Choose-its” in her childhood and didn't blossom again until her
return to New York. Having developed an appreciation of history,
she can now call her adoptive state Massachusetts, and even like
parts of it. But her nature, temperament and interests are as
much a part of NYC as the throb of its subways. After years as
a theatre critic, director, publicist and playwright, she has
“retired” to write poems and stories.
