Carol Seitchik is the author of the poetry collection, The Distance From Odessa, published in January 2021 (Atmosphere Press). The collection of poems is memoir, journal; the voice of four generations and the inescapable inheritance woven through the labyrinth of the human saga, of finding their place in the world. Her poems have been published in the anthologies: A Feast of Cape Ann Poets (Folly Cove Press), The Practicing Poet (Terrapin Books), Poetry Diversified: An Anthology of Human Experience (Poetry Matters literary prize), Tide Lines: an anthology of Cape Ann Poets (Rockport Press), Culture and Identity, and Poetry for Ukraine (compiled by Robin Barratt of The Poet). Seitchik has also had a career as a visual artist as well as curator for thirty-two years for a Biotech company on the North Shore of Boston. She currently resides in Beverly, Massachusetts.
