作者简介
Lesley Carlin is a New Englander-in terms of both Her Birthplace and Her Tempera-ment. After seven years of Catholic School,which she fondly compares to Chinese Wa-ter Torture, she enrolled at a small Massa-chusetts prep school, whence she graduated as a member of the fast all-girls class. Lesley continued her studies at Princeton, where she majored in English Literature and Creative Writing and learned how to Mix a Mean G&T. She picked up her A.B. in 1995, packed up the Etiquette Volvo, and moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to begin Graduate Work in Creative Writing,courtesy of a Jacob Javits Fellowship. After earning her M.F.A. in 1997, Lesley embarked upon what is obviously a natural career path for a Trained Poet; she is now the Managing Editor and Site Pro-ducer for an Intemet Start-Up. Lesley lives outside Boston.
