About the Author:

Heather Dubrow, director of the Poets Out Loud reading series, is the John D. Boyd, SJ, Chair in the Poetic Imagination at Fordham University, where she wears two hats, the headgear of a literary critic and the beret of a poet. She has previously published two chapbooks, Transformation and Repetition (Sandhills Press/Main-Travelled Roads) and Border Crossings (Parallel Press), and her play “The Devil’s Paintbrush” was produced by the Brooklyn Heights Players. Among the journals in which her poetry has appeared are Journal of the American Medical Association, Prairie Schooner, Southern Review, and Southwest Review, and one of her lyrics was the featured poem on the Poetry Daily web site; two of the poems in this collection, “Dill” and “Waking Hours,” have been set to music and performed. Her work has also been reprinted in collections, such as Encore (Parallel Press). Wearing the other hat, she is the author of six books of literary criticism, most recently The Challenges of Orpheus: Lyric Poetry and Early Modern England (Johns Hopkins), and of numerous essays on literature and pedagogy; co-editor of a collection of essays; and editor of a forthcoming edition of As You Like It. Her previous academic affiliations include Carleton College and the University of Wisconsin-Madison; at Wisconsin she was the John Bascom Professor and Tighe-Evans Professor. Heather Dubrow and Donald Rowe live in New York City, where they delight in the poetries crafted by Deco buildings, Japanese lacquerwork, and French bistros.
