Carol Taylor Was

Carol Taylor Was grew up in the heart of Detroit. Childhood summers spent on a family farm, fishing trips with her father, and camp counseling special needs children, helped shape her appreciation for the natural world. She studied at Wayne State University, taught school, prepared bones at Cranbrook Institute of Science, and raised three children with her husband in Plymouth, MI. She was the Poetry Editor for The MacGuffin for twenty-five years. Her poetry has appeared in such journals as The Gettysburg Review, The Southern Review, Natural Bridge, among others, and read on The Naturalist’s Datebook, a Sirius radio program. She’s been nominated for Pushcart and Best New Poets. Carol writes and walks miles every day.
