In her work, Ortiz Cofer brings a poetic perspective to the intersection of memory and imagination. Writing in diverse genres, she investigates women issues, Latino culture, and the American South. Ortiz Cofer beautifully weaves together private life and public space through intimate portrayals of family relationships and rich descriptions of place. Her manuscripts and papers are currently housed at the University of Georgia's Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library. ==Early years== Judith Ortiz Cofer was born in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, on February 24, 1952.〔(Honoree - Georgia Writers Hall of Fame )〕 She moved to Paterson, New Jersey with her family in 1956. They often made back-and-forth trips between Paterson and Hormigueros. In 1967, her family moved to Augusta, Georgia, where she attended Butler High School. Judith and her brother resisted the family's move South. Upon arriving in Georgia, Ortiz Cofer was struck by Augusta's vibrant colors and vegetation compared with the gray concrete and skies of city-life in Patterson.
