Beverly Burch writes fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Her work has won the John Ciardi Prize, the Gival Poetry Prize and Lambda Literary Award and received several Pushcart nominations. She was a finalist for the Audre Lorde and the Housatonic Awards.
Her writing draws on Southern roots, California culture, and the unconscious life. She grew up in Atlanta and has lived many years in Oakland, CA with her wife. Also a therapist, she had a private practice in Berkeley, CA for over 40 years until she closed it to allow more time for writing.
