Coleen T. Houlihan began her career in writing on a picturesque day in a quaint Connecticut town. An only child who loved to read, her afternoons were often spent home leafing through dusty volumes passed down from her grandfather. Or she could be found in the local library, covertly reading all the books she'd been warned against such as Wifey by Blume or Go Ask Alice, salacious writing perfect for the budding adolescent. At Wellesley College, she focused on short stories and poetry, receiving her BA. She has featured at several poetry venues such as: Stone Soup, Best Sellers, A Tapestry of Voices, Sherman Café and the Walden Poetry Series. She has published poetry in Main Street Rag, Poesy, Bellowing Ark, The Alewife, The Wilderness House Literary Review, Ibbetson Street Press, Spoonful: A Gathering of Stone Soup Poets, MoJo!
