Mother’s Tongue

Lori Desrosiers grew up on the banks of the Hudson River in NY, but now calls Westfield, Massachusetts her home. She has written three chapbooks of poetry and her work has been published in many literary journals. She is the Editor of Naugatuck River Review, a new poetry journal, and also publishes Poetry News, an online newsletter of poetry-related events in the CT/Mass. region. When she is not writing or going to poetry events, she is an Assitant Professor of English Composition at Westfield State College. Mother’s Tongue is part of a manuscript of poetry about three generations of women in her family. She holds an MFA from New England College in Creative Writing/Poetry.
