Nancy Barnes
Nancy Barnes was a devoted New Yorker for many years, teaching cultural anthropology and education at The New School and working in the “small school” reform movement in public high schools. Now she is happily living in Northampton, writing personal essays and stories. Her work has been published in Hippocampus, Public Seminar, Pangyrus and other journals.

Robin Barber was born at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, Northampton, in 1947, lived in Amherst, Vermont, Indiana, and British Columbia over a span of 46 years, then settled down a few blocks from his birthplace. He is deeply grateful for so much, especially to be married to Carol Edelstein, to have a new grandson named Gus, who is almost 2, and to live in such a good town, with so many fine writers in it. He’s planning to read a collection of short pieces on March 23rd, the day before his 78th birthday.
