Diana Whitney’s first collection of poetry, WANTING IT, was released by Harbor Mountain Press in June. She graduated from Dartmouth College and Oxford University, where she was a Rhodes Scholar, and attended the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. Her essays and poems have appeared in many publications, including The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, Numero Cinq, Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, and The Crab Orchard Review. She has been a commentator on VPR and received writing fellowships at the Vermont Studio Center and the Banff Centre for the Arts. Her frank, irreverent parenting column, Spilt Milk, was syndicated for four years in several newspapers and garnered a loyal readership. Born in England, Diana now lives in Brattleboro, VT, with her husband, two daughters and 12 chickens, and teaches at Core Flow Yoga & Sport, the small studio attached to her family’s Victorian farmhouse.
