ROSANNE WASSERMAN’s poems appear widely in anthologies and journals, but “She Flies Away” is her very first published poetry comic. Thanks to Bianca Stone, whose workshop with Brooklyn Poets inspired her! Wasserman’s books include Apple Perfume, The Lacemakers, No Archive on Earth, Other Selves, and Sonnets from Elizabeth’s, as well as Place du Carousel and Psyche and Amor, collaborations with Eugene Richie, with whom she co-edited John Ashbery’s Collected French Translations. Both Ashbery and A. R. Ammons included her work in Best American Poetry. Richie and Wasserman run the Groundwater Press in Hudson and Port Washington, New York. As an editor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she helped create many books and exhibition catalogues, including Metropolitan Cats and Eliot Porter’s Intimate Landscapes.
