Ethel Poindexter is from many places.  Born in Central America, she has also lived in Europe, North America and the Caribbean.  She has lived in the Pioneer Valley in Western MA for at least fifteen years with excursions to different lands during that time.  

Diane Englander approaches her work as a poet, in the most ancient sense of the word: she is resolutely a “maker.” Endlessly inventive, Englander’s work does not hide the history or the pleasure of its making, from a curiosity about materials (a mix of scavenged, reused, and new) to a playful series of experiments with color and form, line and texture, volume and composition.
