E Smith DunlapElaine Dunlap has a great deal to say about a great many things and much of it appears in her poetry. 30 years teaching cultural history at a community college in California was only one facet of her quest for experience. Widely traveled in all the uual places, she went further than most exploring India, Antarctica and following the Silk Road from China to Uzbekistan. She now divides her year between London and a suburb of San Francisco fostering a uniquely bi-cultural perspective on her two worlds, especially the difference between traveling by cars or buses. Not a day goes by without her submerging herself in some notable theater, art or musical event. In 2012-13 she was an Olivier judge for alternative theater in London and still enjoys writing unpublished theatre reviews. Current technology makes it possible for her to indulge in frequent photography some of which appears in the pages of her poetry. She is married with two grown children and one grandson.
