About
Elizabeth
Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, she was the second daughter of a Southern mother and a New England (Fort Bragg stationed) father. The family moved to Rhode Island when she was a child, and her New England roots grew fast and deep. In the early eighties, with her husband and with two young children, she moved to Maine where she lived for 26 years writing for the local newspaper, editing three subsequent weekly papers, sharing ownership and operation of a neighborhood store, and sinking into the rural culture while maintaining the outsider presence she never could escape, no matter where she put down all the heavy furniture. Single again in the early new century, she moved to Baltimore, Maryland, and a dozen years later bought a ramshackle old house (see essay, previous page) in Putnam County, New York. There she is still, puttering in Putnam.
