Theresa McCourt has a B.A. in English literature and Drama, combined honors, from Birmingham University, England, and an M.A. in English Literature from California State University, Sacramento. For 15 years she worked as an editor-in-chief for a legislative office and then ran her own business, working as a freelance journalist, teacher, and editor. With the birth of her son, Ian, in 2001—followed by various deaths and struggles—she is now committed to honing the voice she almost lost a good few years ago. Her poetry has appeared in Toyon, Night and Day, and Poetry Now, and in 2005, she placed third in the 79th Annual Berkeley Poets competition.
