Biography
Dvorah Simon is a psychologist and poet, daughter of two people who survived concentration camps and did their utmost to keep the flame of Jewish identity and creativity in the face of an absurd universe. Her book, Mercy, was published by Hanford Mead Publishers in 2008, and received the Nautilus Silver Book Award in 2009 for small press books. Her poetry is characterized by attention to rhythm and sound, with influences from A.A. Milne, Mary Oliver, and Biblical poetry.
