Julia Gordon-Bramer, St. Louis Community College

Julia Gordon-Bramer was born nine months after Sylvia Plath's suicide in 1963. She is a poet and fiction writer with a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of Missouri- St. Louis. A Tarot reader for three decades, she has spent the last several years reinterpreting the work of Plath and Hughes, and is seeking publication for her nearly complete manuscript, Fixed Stars Govern a Life, a biographical study of Plath and Hughes through the lens of mysticism, including a line-by-line analysis of each Ariel poem, with pictures, supplemental tables, and indexes to explain the mystical template structure in all of Plath's and Hughes' literary work. A collection of Julia Gordon-Bramer's own poetry will be published by Time Being Books in 2012. She teaches English at St. Louis Community College.
