Connie S. Tettenborn

Connie S. Tettenborn began writing poetry as a 9-year-old child in Ohio and has since never completely stopped, even while obtaining her PhD in Oncology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and then working at various biotech companies. A transition to scientific editing yielded more time to focus on her poetry, which includes visual and mathematical poetry created using watercolor or digital media. Her poems have appeared in The Deronda Review, while her visual poetry can be found online in The Tip of the Knife and Otoliths. She now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and enjoys spending time outdoors hiking, backpacking, cross-country skiing and caving.
