About Me
- Name: Janice Gould
- Location: ColoradoSprings, Colorado, United States
My home town is Berkeley, California. My tribal heritage is Concow. I have lived mostly in California and the west, and reside now in Colorado. I was recently named the Pike's Peak Poet Laureate for 2014-2016. I am the author of Beneath My Heart (Firebrand 1990), Earthquake Weather (University of Arizona 1996), and Alphabet (May Day 1996). With scholar Dean Rader, I co-edited Speak to Me Words: Essays on American Indian Poetry (University of Arizona 2003). My newest book of poetry, Doubters and Dreamers, was published in 2011 by the University of Arizona Press. It was a finalist for the 2012 Colorado Book Award and for the Milt Kessler Poetry Award from Binghamton University. In 2012, I was given a Native Artist Residency at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe, where I worked on a new manuscript of poems and composed music for the guitar. The photo of me was taken by Carol Dass at the Heller Center for Arts and Humanities, Colorado Springs.
