Sandi Leibowitz lives in a raven’s wood, next door to bogles, in New York City. After a variety of jobs (including ghostwriting for a monsignor and working behind one of the caribou dioramas at the Museum of Natural History), she is now an elementary-school librarian, which enables her to hook kids on reading, tell stories, and use puppets and funny voices. She also sings classical and early music and plays recorders. Her speculative fiction and poems may be found in Metaphorosis, Liminality, Through the Gate, Luna Station Quarterly, Mythic Delirium, Kaleidotrope, Gaia: Shadow and Breath 3, Strange Horizons, Goblin Fruit, Apex, Ellen Datlow’s Best Horror of the Year 5, and other magazines and anthologies. Her poems have won second and third place Dwarf Star Awards, and been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Rhysling, and Best of the Net awards. Her poetry collections include The Bone-Joiner (Sycorax Press) and Eurydice Sings (Flutter Press). Sandi invites you to visit her at www.sandileibowitz.com.
