Valerie Sopher
When not writing poetry, Valerie Sopher sings, plays guitar and gets her hands dirty with fabric and thread. She is a retired lawyer living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is grateful to Orchard Street Press for publishing her chapbook, Day for Night and to SLANT, Comstock Review, Science Write Now and Wingless Dreamer (contest winner Dawn of the Day), among others, for publishing her work and to the Ina Coolbrith Circle and the Benicia Love Poetry Contest for honors bestowed.
