Gail Griffin was born in Detroit and raised in its suburbs and in Ann Arbor, where she reveled in literature and rock music. One of her proudest claims to fame is having seen the Beatles in concert in Detroit in 1964. She went away to school and came back to take a teaching position at Kalamazoo College, where she taught literature, writing, and women's studies for 36 years. There she won awards fo teaching and for creative/scholarly work, and she was chosen Michigan Professor of the Year in 1995. She has published four books of nonfiction, including Grief's Country: A Memoir in Pieces and The Events of October: Murder-Suicide on a Small Campus. She is currently looking through a huge stack of poems to see whether a book might be hiding there, and she has her mind on a collection of personal essays on whiteness and confronting racism. Since retiring from K College she has offered workshops in anti-racist white consciousness and building white allies for community groups and organizations. She lives in West Main Hill with a black cat named Nell, and her enduring life goal is to spend as much time as possible at the northwest Lake Michigan shore.
