BIO
Judith Zukerman, Chicago native and long time Wisconsin resident, enjoys returning to places
she loves by writing poems.
Judith grew up in a three-generation household where oral storytelling was a part of life
along with a deep love and reverence for books. She loved making up stories, and formally entered
a writer's world as she approached her jubilee year, her 50th birthday, bringing the richness of a life
fully lived. Five major influences were her work experiences - her social activism, her deep connection
to Judaism, to feminism, and living in other countries for three years. Working to become fluent
in three languages other than English, and connecting to the poetry and literature of poets and
writers in five languages other than English has deepened her own love of language, and shown her
the unique beauty of each language, and its connection to the culture and people who use it.
Recent work includes Wisconsin Poets' Calendar 2009 and Mind's Eye Radio joint project with
The Center for Photography at Madison in October 2008 exhibition called Wisconsin Waters,
and Redbird Writers' Showcase in May 2008. Her writing was enriched by a Norcroft Writer's
Residency in 2004, Colrain Poetry Manuscript Conference 2007 and University of Nebraska
Master Class with Hilda Raz in 2008.
Earlier writing appeared in Calliope, Cobblestone, Free Verse, Grace, Neovictorian
Cochlea, Peninsula Pulse, and The Deronda Review.
