Vermont poet Ellin Anderson has won many awards for poetry in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. A lifelong resident of New England, she was born in Boston, graduated from The Pingree School in 1976, and received a B.A. in Art from Mount Holyoke College in 1982. Anderson's poems have been published in The Longfellow Society Journal, The Boston Poet, Mediums, Pleiades/ArtsNorth, Orbis, and The Newport Daily Express. She created and produced “Poetry With Ellin Anderson,” a weekly radio show on WNBP am 1450 (Newburyport), which was sponsored by World Learning Incorporated and the Summer Abroad Program. For many years, Anderson was a member of the Longfellow Poetry Society, which met at Longfellow’s Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts. She has received praise for her work from Massachusetts poet X.J. Kennedy, who comments: “Ellin Anderson has a keen sense of the past, yet at the same time can be triumphantly contemporary. Her skill and resourcefulness delight.”
