Carol Weston's history as a poet is linked to such figures as Jack
Powers, John Wieners, Robert Lowell, Allen Ginsburg, and Carl Solomon
(to whom Allen Ginsburg's "Howl" was dedicated). Her credentials include
being poetry editor of the Impressions Workshop. She was published in
the Farleigh Dickinson Journal, alongside Donald Justice,

Poet Expects of Himself,” an essay published in the Tufts Review. She taught for ten years at the Chestnut Hill School.
She

asked by Powers to feature in Boston's City Hall along with John
Wieners. On May 1, 2011, Carol performed her poem "Peace Fire" alongside
musician Jon Voight for Stone Soup Poetry's 40th anniversary
celebration and tribute to Jack Powers, Stone Soup's late founder. In
2013, she was one of the panelists for "Stone Soup Poetry: A
Retrospective," presented at the Massachusetts Poetry Festival in Salem,
Massachusetts.
Her poetry credits include The Farleigh Literary Review, BOMB, Stone Soup Anthology 2003, Spoonful, Stone Soup Presents: Fresh Broth and the anthology dedicated to John Wieners, The Blind See Only This World. Her chapbook, Spirals, Whorls Sutures, Septa, was published by Stone Soup Poetry in 1978.
