Joy Leftow

Author's Bio

To date I've had over 70 items published. Most of it is poetry and also includes articles, book reviews, short stories and flash fiction. “Poet Laureate” of Washington Heights, Joy Leftow is a double alumna at Columbia University and has her second Masters from CCNY in Creative Writing. Joy’s style is - in your face reality. When Joy is not busy doing people & cat rescues, she meets her muse & reflects on relationships with more sarcasm than you’d get in an entire season of Seinfeld. Joy on wikipedia
