Libby R. Friedberg (1920-2006) grew up in the Bronx and, in 1940, graduated from Hunter College (CUNY) with a BA in English Literature. She later attended a one-week writer's workshop at William Paterson College, where John Ciardi was one of her workshop teacher-mentors. In her mid-life and later years, Friedberg fully discovered and finally "allowed" her poetic voice, but never published beyond her Bergen County Ethical Culture Society newsletter. These poems in 2RV represent her first exposure to a wider audience.
