About the Author
Donna Masini is an acclaimed poet whose work delves into the raw intersections of personal peril, urban grit, and the transformative power of narrative.

Masini's poetry often explores themes of danger and vulnerability, blending confessional intimacy with vivid, street-smart imagery that captures the pulse of the metropolis. A former professor and editor, she has contributed to literary journals and anthologies, championing women's voices in poetry. Her collections, including That Kind of Danger (Barnard New Women Poets) and Turning to Fiction: Poems, showcase her ability to turn life's precarious moments into profound, resonant art, earning her fellowships and awards in the literary community.
