Carol Anderson was born and raised on the south side of Chicago.
At the age of two she developed a bone disease which immobilized
her in bed for the next three years. There, her grandmother read
to her fairy tales, Aesop's Fables, and poetry, her index finger
moving under each word. Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Land of Counterpane' spoke
directly to the bedridden child, ignited a passion for poetry which continues to this day.
Carol Anderson has had her work published in numerous literary
journals including: The Aurorean, Cappers, Dream International
Quarterly, Grit, Guideposts, Red Owl Magazine and Upsouth.
She has had her non-poetic work published in Guideposts and Streetwise.
