She attended the Foote School in New Haven. "Zazen and poetry are both mind research studies," she says in a Chase magazine interview. * In surprising and unpredictable ways, I find the internal pressure created by emotion and a koan to be similar. * Zen is a magnificent sieve through which to pour a poem. "It's laborious" is a word that comes to mind. Twichell was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and she received her B.A. A graduate of Trinity College and her M.F.A.
