Sharon Hilberer grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and lived in Ohio, California, and North Dakota before taking up residence in Minnesota to teach English as a second language in the Minneapolis public schools. A language geek from the get-go, her poems grow out of current events, overheard and remembered conversations, and from paying attention to the natural world.
