My name is Laura Celise Lippman. I was a doctor but now I am a poet.
This is me with my grandson Leo. He couldn’t stay out of the portrait.
Laura graduated from Bryn Mawr College where she studied with Kate Millett and Lila Karp in one of the nation’s first women’s studies programs. She also attended the University of Oregon, majoring in biology, and received her M.D. from the Medical College of Pennsylvania. She practiced medicine for almost forty years and raised two children with her husband in the Pacific Northwest. She has been fortunate to practice medicine in many places in the world. Since retiring she has rediscovered her early love of reading and writing poetry. She enjoys the outdoors and shares her love of nature with her family and friends.
