DOREEN STOCK

"Working prodigiously over the past half-century in several genres—verse, the prose poem, hybrid poetic forms, fiction, memoir, the critical or scholarly essay, translation from Russian, from Spanish—Doreen Stock is one of the secret originals of American poetry.  Creating independently outside academic institutions or identity-centered movements while embracing Jewish tradition as a grounding ethos, publishing widely but obscurely in little magazines and small-press books, she has produced a steadily growing and branching body of work that is authentically and distinctively her own, and timelessly beyond current trends."
