Verandah Porche
Verandah Porche (born November 7, 1945) is a poet living in Guilford, Vermont.
==Biography==
Porche (born Linda Jacobs) attended public schools in Teaneck, New Jersey, graduated from Teaneck High School in 1963, and went on to Boston University, graduating in 1968.〔Kisseloff, Jeff. (''Generation on fire: voices of protest from the 1960s : an oral history'' ), p. 228. University Press of Kentucky, 2007. ISBN 978-0-8131-2416-2. Accessed September 14, 2011. "My name was Linda Jacobs... I wanted to have a name that seemed powerful and funny and distant and unforgettable. ''V'' seemed like a wonderful letter, and Doris Lessing had a lot of verandas in her work, so I chose the name Verandah Porche because I was sitting on a porch. The ''e'' was just a festoon. What got me started on my alien path was moving to Teaneck, New Jersey, when I was eight years old. Growing up in Teaneck was anesthesia. My mother was obsessed with our appearance. She really did say things like, 'What will the neighbors say?'"〕 That same year, with some friends, she founded a commune in southern Vermont called Total Loss Farm where she still lives. Their adventures were chronicled in two books by Ray Mungo: ''Famous Long Ago'',〔(''Famous long ago: my life and hard times with Liberation News Service'', Beacon Press, 1970, Raymond Mungo )〕 and ''Total Loss Farm''. Porche also contributed significant portions of prose and poetry to ''Home Comfort: Life on Total Loss Farm,'' a 1973 collection of stories and essays by residents of the commune, edited by Richard Wizansky.
