Author Bio

Teresa Carson grew up in Jersey City, New Jersey, as the youngest of ten in a blue-collar family. At the age of eighteen she was one of the first women hired by the local phone company to work in a non-traditional-for-women technical job. For the next thirty-one years she worked in non-traditional union/management, technical/administrative positions for the phone company before retiring in 2003.

In 2004 she earned an MFA in Poetry from Sarah Lawrence College.

She has always lived in Hudson County—nowadays, with her husband John, in Union City.
