Elise Skidmore

I'm a native New Yorker, married since 1976, with adult children. I'm one of the founders of SectionSixx in 2004, after being a Section Leader in Compuserve's Writers Forum for 9 years. I write both prose and poetry, and have had several short stories published, as well as three books of poetry (Poems From The Edge of Spring, When Leaves Fall, & most recently, A Dance of Dreams), all of which are available in print and all digital formats.
