LISA BESKIN
I attended Oberlin College and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. My training in poetry means that I've taught at Yale, fact-checked for Disney Magazine, reviewed DVDs, and worked at some truly fine bookstores. When I wrote about DVDs I made terrible deals with my editor, like, "I'll review 'Barbie in The Nutcracker' and the ice-skating chimp movie if I get to do the new Hitchcock collection." Journalism left me hardened, and last year I had my gallbladder removed. I tolerate anesthesia pretty well. I wrote "My Work Among the Faithful," which won the Blue Lynx Prize and was published by Lynx House/Eastern Washington University Press, and "Prussian Blue," published by the Factory Hollow Press.
