Mary Rohrer-Dann

Mary Rohrer-Dann has a daughter, Chelsea – so beautiful in all ways – who just turned 21 (yikes!); the daughter of the friend to whom this poem is dedicated is about to deliver her own little girl. Mary has published short stories and poems in Poets Against the War, PaperGraders Anthology, the anthology An Intricate Weave: Women Write About Girls and Girlhood, and elsewhere; her play “Insurance” is scheduled for a reading in spring 2007. She teaches creative writing and Women Studies at Penn State University.
