Ms. Linda Ruth Bohe, Marc Lee Weber, Editor
2017
From a military family, Linda Bohe grew up in various parts of the country. Her childhood was mostly in the South, her mid-teens to young adulthood in Colorado. She later resided in New York City, where many of her poems are set. Linda studied with Alan Dugan, William Matthews and Richard Hugo among others. Her terse syntax perhaps reminds one of Hugo, but with an eclectic bent. Her broad range of poetic taste was shown in the magazine, Attaboy, which she edited with Phoebe MacAdams. Among other writers of her generation with whom she was in close personal contact were Jayne Anne Phillips, Wendy Battin, Nancy Schoenberger, and Susan Tichy.
