Eve Hoffman

Eve Hoffman lives on a remnant of the Georgia dairy farm where she grew up. Still follows dirt roads and Guernsey cream. Bigots and lying makes her angry—so do squirrels eating all the garden tomatoes—but that’s a different kind of anger. She’s been honored as a Remarkable Woman by her alma mater Smith College. Published: Celebration of Healing stories of twenty models impacted by breast cancer to accompany Sal Brownfield’s paintings. Chapbooks Red Clay and SHE. Full-length Memory & Complicity, Mercer University Press, nominated for Georgia poetry book of the year.
