Carol Shamon

I've been a poet and journal keeper for most of my life. While in college I contributed to several publications including Colorado-North Review and Poetry-North Review. After college I attended the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics for two summers studying poetry with Allen Ginsberg and Anne Waldman. Memoir Monday, an online publication, published a personal essay of mine about that experience titled "A Dream A Fish, Allen Ginsberg and Me." In 2020 Irrelevant Press published my zine "A Different More" Creating and Embracing Change While Aging. The zine “Oh The Water” was published the summer of 2023. Finishing Line Press will be publishing my chapbook “Stronger Than Salmon” in August of 2024. I am currently working on my first memoir "The Decade House."
