Dorothea Grossman, died on May 6, 2012 at the age of 74.
A native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dorothea “Dottie” Grossman lived in Los Angeles for thirty-plus years. Her work was featured in the March, 2010 edition of Poetry and was awarded that magazine’s J. Howard and Barbara M. J. Wood Prize. The late Allen Ginsberg called her poetry, “clear, odd, personal, funny or wild-weird, curious and lucid.” Her work has appeared in numerous poetry journals and magazines.
Coffeetown Press has recently published Grossman's third collection The Fun of Speaking English: Selected Poems.
EKG
That's my heart,
sloshing around
senselessly
in what sounds like
a big metal bucket
that holds
lots of cold beers
for a party.
-- Dorothea Grossman
