About the Author
Rose Wolf holds a Ph.D. in fantasy. In addition to UniVerses, her first collection of poetry, she has published several short stories. Following seven years as personal secretary to science fiction writer Andre Norton, she immigrated to Scotland. She currently resides in Edinburgh, happy and honored to be living in the land of the earliest poet of her acquaintance (Robert Louis Stevenson) and the latest fantasist (J.K. Rowling). If asked her philosophy of poetry, she will state that the best way to fight Chaos is to create Order, or--in the words of Edna St.Vincent Millay--to “put [him] into fourteen lines.”
