Terese Svoboda

New York writer Terese Svoboda has a body of work that includes poetry, novels, memoirs, translation, biography, and over a hundred published short stories.

Svoboda’s latest novel is Bohemian Girl, ‘a cross between True Grit and Huckleberry Finn’. “No one who cares about American culture will want to miss this book,” writes Cary Nelson, editor of Anthology of Modern American Poetry about her biography Anything That Burns You: A Portrait of Lola Ridge, Radical Poet.
