About Diane

Diane Frank is an award winning poet. Her friends describe her as a harem of seven women in one very small body. She has mentored hundreds of writers at San Francisco State University, City College of San Francisco, The University of Vermont, and the Professional Writing Program at MIU in Iowa. Currently, she divides her time between San Francisco, California — where she dances, plays cello, and creates her life as an art form — and Fairfield, Iowa, where she directs Poets at 8:00 and teaches writing workshops. She is also a documentary scriptwriter with expertise in Eastern and sacred art.

Blackberries in the Dream House, her first novel, has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.
