Anna Rabinowitz

Anna Rabinowitz’s most recent volume of poetry is WORDS ON THE STREET, Tupelo, 2016. At present, she is working on a theater piece based on the book.

Her book-length acrostic poem, DARKLING: A POEM, was transformed into an experimental, multi-media opera theater work by American Opera Projects. It had its world premiere and ran for three weeks off-Broadway in 2006 and has been performed at other venues in New York City as well as in Philadelphia, Berlin and Poland. Darkling will be released as a CD by Albany Records in 2011. Her volume, THE WANTON SUBLIME, was tranformed into a monodrama for mezzo-soprano. It premiered in New York and in London.

Rabinowitz’s other books include AT THE SITE OF INSIDE OUT (University of Massachusetts Press), which won the Juniper Prize. Other awards include a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and nominations for a Pushcart Prize and ForeWord Magazine’s Best Poetry Book of the Year for Darkling. Rabinowitz received her MFA from Columbia University, is Editor Emerita of American Letters & Commentary and a vice-president of the Poetry Society of America.
