Helen Degen Cohen

HELEN DEGEN COHEN’s (Halina Degenfisz’s) awards include a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) fellowship in poetry, First Prize in British Stand Magazine‘s fiction competition, and three Illinois Arts Council Literary awards. Once an Artist-in-Education and instructor for Roosevelt University, she co-edits Rhino Magazine and coordinates its Poetry Forum workshop. Widely published in periodicals, she was twice “featured poet” in The Spoon River Poetry Review, and her work has been the subject of essays such as “Rootlessness and Alienation in the Poetry of Helen Degen Cohen” (Shofar) and “This Dark Poland” (Something of My Very Own to Say, Columbia University, Press). In 2009 she had two poetry collections published—Habry and On A Good Day One Discovers Another Poet—as well as an excerpt from her novel, The Edge of the Field (in Where We Find Ourselves—SUNY). A new chapbook, Neruda Nights, is forthcoming from Finishing Line Press.
