Magdalena Zuraswski
MAGDALENA ZURAWSKI writes of herself "I was born in Newark NJ and grew up in
Edison NJ but Providence RI feels like my hometown more than any place else
because that's where I started having sex and meeting poets and being a real
person in a real world. I went to Brown and got a B.A. in Comparative
Literature. I studied as a Fulbright scholar in Berlin Germany and I got an
M.A. from Temple in Creative Writing. I taught high school but now I am
waiting tables so that I can finish my novel, THE BRUISE. I will read from
my novel at Lady Fest. My major poetic influences are Jack Spicer, Bruce
Springsteen and Immanuel Kant (but only the 3rd critique). Early Bruce
Springsteen albums make me happier than anything on earth (well, as happy as
really really good poetry readings).
About my novel: THE WOUND is a bildungsroman told from a female point of
view, i.e. portrait of the artist as a young woman. It's my first book"
