Dotty has been writing since the fifth grade when, at the urging of a literary minded teacher, she created an illustrated and bound version of her short story called “Arnold and the Dragon” about a hero dragon who put out fires (instead of starting them) and saved the home of the young human who befriended him.
She is the author of three previous chapbooks: Five Angels, Five Trees Press, 1976; Let Us Not Blame Foolish Women, Tombouctou Press, 1983; The Land, Smithereens Press, 1988. In the late 1970’s through the mid-1980’s she edited the literary magazine Turkey Buzzard Review, in collaboration with writers, artists and assorted talented helpers in Bolinas California.
Dotty studied at the New College of California Poetics Program and with poets Joanne Kyger, Edith Jenkins and Thomas Centolella. After taking time away from poetry to attend law school and become involved in Democratic politics, she picked it up again in the last few years.
She still works as an environmental attorney and campaign consultant and is proud to have been a Bernie Sanders delegate to the 2016 Convention. She lives and writes in Marin County California with her patient husband and two dogs.
She has recently started keeping a writing blog, where more work can be found: https://www.dottylemieuxpoemsandmore.com/
