Sandra Crouch Halcott has been writing poetry since she was fourteen years old. A Dictionary of Dress Sizes is her first book-length work and her first dictionary. This website is also her first public dialogue project on a subject close to her heart.
The voices of other women are key to this project and Sandra wholeheartedly thanks each and every woman who participates in any way with A Dictionary of Dress Sizes.
Sandra also thanks her teachers in the art of writing. She has studied together with the following teachers and in the following classrooms both literal and figural:
The Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference in Vermont where she studied poetry with Carl Phillips, a Los Angeles based Method-Writing class with Jack Grapes, a Writing from Life creative non-fiction workshop with Terry Wolverton of Writers at Work, the Naropa Summer Writing Program in Colorado, courses in both Prague, Czech Republic and Boulder, Colorado with poet and writing coach Max Regan of Hollowdeck Press, a master class with Los Angeles Poet Laurel Ann Bogen and a mini-workshop with Jerome Rothenberg in Prague.
Sandra studied poetry at the undergrad level at Westminster College with Wayne Zade, and also attended a pair of two-week intensive workshops with Robert Hass. She has completed a post-graduate master class in creative writing with R.M. Davis at the University of Oklahoma. Sandra is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology at the University of Santa Monica in California.
A facilitator of popular weekly writing workshops in both Norman, Oklahoma and Prague, Czech Republic, Sandra now runs Generate, a series of writing workshops and classes in Los Angeles. Sandra has been published in The Vernalist, and in Windmill, University of Oklahoma Press.
Sandra has kissed the Blarney Stone and run with the bulls. She’s also fluent in Czech and once appeared semi-naked, bald and faux-tattooed in her workplace. Sandra is proud of all these things and would not necessarily repeat any of them.
