Dorothy was born in Reno, Nevada and raised in a small town in Northern California. She holds a BA in Systems of Power & Social Control and is very fond of both classical and critical social theory, as well as linguistics, manatees, and thoroughbred horse racing. She is currently composing an essay on ethics and de-secularization.
As a creative writer, Dorothy considers her strengths post-post-Modern poetry and pulp/noir detective fiction. She is largely influenced by the American West, romanticism, Steinbeck, and the art of daily life. Two self-published collections of her poetry, “one-dot” and “two-dot”, are available for purchase at $15/each or $25/set.
