Christine Strevinsky was born in Poland, grew up under Nazi regime and did not speak English until age eighteen. She is retired from teaching English at Delgado Community College in New Orleans and has twice been nominated as Kentucky’s Senior Poet Laureate. She is the author of The Dark Hour of Noon, a novel; …from the memoirs of a girl child partisan, a chapbook; has been included in a couple of poetry anthologies, and been published in numerous literary journals such as Kudzu, The Magnolia Quarterly, Louisiana Journal of College Writing, and others.

Strevinsky started college at forty-five after a peripatetic career as a sausage stuffer, welder, punch press operator, soda jerk, waitress, mail inserter, etc.. She is the great-grandmother of three. Loves reading—from Tolstoy to Asimov to Evanovich, and various handicrafts, including making pisanki and krasanki (eggs decorated in the Slavic style). She still corresponds, in Polish, with a school chum in Poland.
