Judith Cody´s poetry has been extensively published in literary magazines. Her fearless way with poetry has captured the imagination of readers since she began writing at 8 years old. Dean of Saint Rose´s College, became interested in twelve-year-old Cody´s ability to see the world´s joy and pain through her poems, and taught the youngster at the college without payment. As a high school freshman Judith´s poem won a state wide poetry contest. Later, she was a winner in a national Atlantic Monthly poetry contest. She also composes music and her well reviewed book on a contemporary composer, "Vivian Fine: A Bio-Bibliography," was published by Greenwood Press in 2001.
