Sandy Solomon teaches at Vanderbilt University, where she is Writer in Residence 
in Vanderbilt’s Creative Writing Program. Her book, Pears, Lake, Sun, which 
received the Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize from the University of Pittsburgh Press, 
was published simultaneously in the UK by Peterloo Poets.
 
She has published in magazines in both the US and the UK: most recently, in The 
New Yorker, Plume, Scientific American, Kenyon Review, Harvard Review, 
Moment magazine, Vox Populi, Live Encounters (a journal associated with the 
group, Village Earth). She’s also published in New Republic, The Times Literary
 Supplement, Poetry Review (UK), Partisan Review, Threepenny Review, The 
Gettysburg Review, Chelsea, Seneca Review, The Southern Review, The Virginia 
Quarterly Review, Harvard Magazine, Antioch Review, Poetry East, Ploughshares, 
Poet Lore, Painted Bride Quarterly, Prairie Schooner, The Ghazal Page, and others.
 
Her poems have appeared in such anthologies as Border Lines, Poems of 
Migration; Women’s Work, Orpheus and Company: Contemporary Poems on 
Greek Mythology, and A Breathless Hush, The MCC Anthology of Cricket Verse 
(her favorite credit since it seems so improbable that an American would ever meet 
English approval on this subject). Several of her essays on poetry have appeared in 
Mentor and Muse.  She’s received fellowships at what is now the Radcliffe 
Institute for Advanced Study and spent time in various worthy artists’ colonies 
(Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, MacDowell, Yaddo, among them).
