Dorothea (Dottie) Grossman's poetry is a unique compilation of words, images and ideas. Her subjects range from poetry for children to Henny Youngman, from Nature to Love. In these diverse subjects she evokes an imagry that is tangible, that relates to the everyday world we live in.
Dottie was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and received a B.A. in English Literature from Temple University. She has been writing poetry for over 20 years, while working at a variety of jobs, including counselor, bookstore manager, registrar at a memory school and a school of Architecture.
Dottie currently lives in Los Angeles, working as an office manager. She spends her time away from work writing poetry and going to jazz events.
In general,
our species
behaves
pretty well
at parties;
I'm proud of
how politely
we mingle
and nibble.
The Mexicans Who Clean Rich People's Houses
All of their character
is under their eyes,
where dark circles
and cheeks run together.
Nothing can hurt them;
they know Jesus.
