Bio

For years I raced from a tennis court at seven am to a legal court appearance in NY or NJ or to my law office in Brooklyn. The most poetic writing I encountered was not mine but that of an adversary who wrote, The plaintiff's argument holds no fruit. Happily, when I retired I traded legal writing for poetry.

Anita S. Pulier has a BA in English Literature from New York University and a JD from New York Law School.

Anita was a U. S. United Nations representative for the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.

Anita's poems have been included in print anthologies:
