bio

Leonore Wilson lives in the wilds of Northern California. Sometimes she doesn't see another human soul for days. Like it or not, she inherited this primitive existence. However, land, no matter how serene and beautiful, comes with a straight jacket of conditions. Thoreau's Walden...ah, he was a wimp! She teaches at a small college, but lately decided to take time off. She has won awards as well as fellowships for her work. Recent fellowships were given by Villa Montalvo Center for the Arts and University of Utah. Her work has been in such magazines as Poets Against the War, Madison Review, Quarterly West, Third Coast, Pedestal, Laurel Review, Pif, DMQ Review, and Unlikely Stories. She is working on finishing two novels. Her poetry manuscript is in the hands of several publishers.
