| biography:
| Poet and writer, born in Detroit, Michigan, USA. She studied at the University of Michigan (1957 BA) and Northwestern (1958 MA), and held a number of jobs before she could earn her living as a writer. After living in many cities from San Francisco to Paris, she settled in Wellfleet, MA. Active as a progressive and feminist, she is known for poetry that focuses on social problems, as in To Be of Use (1973), and for her novels with feminist themes, such as Women on the Edge of Time (1976). Much of her work also deals with Jewish themes. Later work includes the novels Fly Away Home (1985) and Summer People (1990), and the poetry collections The Moon is Always Female (1980) and The Art of Blessing the Day (1999). |
