About the Author:
Caroline's poetry is often informed by her training and research in anthropology. She writes in several genres, including haiku and senryu forms. She is the author of "Warm Under the Cat: Haiku and Senryu Poems," "The Clock Chimes: Haiku and Senryu Poems" and "The Clay Jar: Haiku, Senryu and Haibun Poems." Caroline's haiku and senryu have received national awards and appear in many anthologies, literary magazines and journals. She also writes ekphrastic poetry, poems in response to paintings, photographs, and sculpture. Her poetic memoir, "The Weight of Whiteness: A Memoir in Poetry," published by Wellington-Giles Press in 2012, consists of poems about her awareness of her 'whiteness' during the integration of Boston's public schools in the 1950s and responses to her interracial marriage in 1966, the year before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned as unconstitutional sixteen states' laws prohibiting miscegenation. Caroline Giles Banks lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. |
