I write in three genre.
One published full length (A Woman Milking, Word Press, 2006) is available on Amazon. Not Yet: A Care-Giving Collage, is forthcoming in April 2012 from SFAPress, Nacogdoches, Texas. You can order books from me via email: mslatkin@juno.com
My fiction, published in journals like Lilith, Gargoyle, Midstream, won 2 PEN fiction prizes. Thirty of my stories are collected in a volume called MOVING STILLS: A Life in Stories, for which I will seek publication.
Eighteen of my one act plays have been performed off-off Broadway, and Upside Down, a full length, won a staged reading at the Long Beach Playhouse, CA, 2010, as well as staged readings in NYC, September 2011.
A black&white photographer for many years, darkroom work allowed me to create 46 photos on the theme of the "Correspondences between human and other natural forms." That work has been digitalized, and I have again begun to exhibit prints.
In 2004, my partner Dan and I began to search for the perfect French getaway. Most places were too expensive or too touristic, until we came upon Poitiers, 1 1/2 hours sw of Paris on the TGV, and beautifully intact. You will see pictures of an elegant apartment you can rent by the week during the summer, by the semester during the school year.
A cellist for many years at Music & Art, Queens College, Sound Symphony (Suffolk County, LI), and in Chamber music groups, I now play sonatas ( cello/ piano), trios, and the solo Bach Suites. I am available to do cafe evenings. Please e mail me at mslatkin@juno.com
News of upcoming readings can be found in the "What's New" section. I am available for readings, both of the barnyard poems, the Care-giving poems, new Climate change poems, and fiction. Please contact me at mslatkin@juno.com for a booking.
