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. WILLIAM WALDEN worked in the editorial department of The New Yorker for many years, and left it to free-lance. He has lived all his life in New York City, except for a 2 1/2-year stint in the Army and a 7-year residence on Long Island, from both of which he has fully recovered. Back Home |
