In 1973\, she founded the Blacksmith House Poetry Series in Harvard Square which became\, with its weekly readings\, a center of poetry life\, bringing national and international writers to read in a lively informal atmosphere. \nAs an activist with her late husband\, the artist Michael Mazur and others Massachusetts writers and artists\, she co-founded\, in 1968\, Artists Against Racism and the War\, and later they were activists for a Nuclear Freeze.

Land’s End: New and Selected Poems was published in 2020. Her poems have been widely anthologized\, including in several Pushcart Prize Anthologies\, the Best American Poetry\, Robert Pinsky’s Essential Pleasures. A graduate of Smith College\, she has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Bunting Institute of Radcliffe College\, and the Radcliffe Institute.
