Dr. Sørina Higgins is an editor, writer, English teacher, and scholar of British modernist literature. She once founded and ran a University Press and has served as a writing tutor and consultant for everything from doctoral dissertations to a Jungian dream-journal. Her academic work focuses on Charles Williams (The Oddest Inkling) and magic in modern drama.

She is currently revising a volume of short stories, Shall these Bones Breathe?, and previously published two books of poetry: Caduceus & The Significance of Swans.

Sørina lives on a homestead in upstate New York with her husband, a brace of cats, and a chattering of chickens.

Rose Congratulations on your Mythopoeic Award!


Sørina I had the very great privilege of giving a poetry reading entitled "Poetry and Pattern," with selections from Caduceus at Nyack College on Monday evening. It was an intense, lively, profound event! I will provide a link to the video once it's posted. Meanwhile, why not check out this other version of the same talk? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpszU7...
