Annie Finch
Annie Finch (born 1956) is an American poet, writer, performer, playwright, and entrepreneur. ''Dictionary of Literary Biography'' names her "one of the central figures in contemporary American poetry".〔Barron, Jonathan N. "Annie Finch." ''Dictionary of Literary Biography'' 282, 101〕 In the title essay of her book ''The Body of Poetry,'' Finch connects her poetry's frequent thematic focus on nature and the body, and also its attention to pattern and sound, with her spiritual path as a witch and pagan. 〔Finch, Annie. "The Body of Poetry" ''The Body of Poetry'', 84 〕 Finch's prose articles and columns, in The Huffington Post and elsewhere, center on the divine feminine. 〔Finch, Annie. "Nine Goddesses Every Woman Should Know." ''The Huffington Post'', Aug. 27, 2014〕 In the preface to her selected poems, Finch writes that she considers her own poems and verse plays to be "spells" that heal and raise consciousness through the magic of poetic language, especially form, meter, and rhythm.〔Finch, Annie. "Preface." ''Spells: New and Selected Poems'', xi〕
==Early life==
Finch's essay "Desks" claims her mother's poetry and her father's extensive library of literature, philosophy, and religion as influences on her work.〔Finch, Annie. "Desks." ''The Body of Poetry'', 106-110〕 She began writing poetry early and has called her mother her "first and best teacher of poetry." 〔Finch, Annie. "Preface." ''A Poet's Craft'', xi〕 An interview in American Poetry Review describes the dramatic effect of a year Finch spent camping in Europe and the Middle East with her family at the age of six.〔Giardino, Alix. "Casting Spells: An Interview With Annie Finch." ''American Poetry Review'', January 2013〕 After earning her B.A. in English Literature at Yale University, Finch lived in the East Village of New York while composing, performing, and self-publishing her first book of poetry 〔Finch, Annie. "Preface." ''The Encyclopedia of Scotland'', xi〕
In 1986 Finch graduated from the MA program in creative writing at the University of Houston, where her thesis director was Ntozake Shange. In 1990 she earned a Ph.D in English and American Literature from Stanford University.
