Sharon Kessler, poet & translator, is proprietor of Fish-Eye Press, a private press in Pardes Hanna, Israel.
Her poems have appeared in many journals, anthologies, at
a bus stop in Santa Fe,
and in a
Guerilla Poetics broadside. Sharon grew up in Bohemia, New York and holds degrees
from SUNY Binghamton and from Stanford University,
