About the Author

Kay Ryan was born in 1945 in California and grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave Desert. Her poems have appeared in a wide variety of magazines, including The Atlantic, The New Republic, and The Paris Review, and she is the author of a previous collection, Strangely Marked Metal, also from Copper Beech. Choice called her “already a fully developed and sophisticated poet,” and May Sarton said she “makes it all fresh again with her highly original vision, her elegant, quirky craft.” She lives in Fairfax, California, and teaches writing at the College of Marin.
