Sonya Dorman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sonya Dorman (1924 - February 14, 2005) is the working name of Sonya Dorman Hess. She was born in New York City in 1924 and died in Taos, New Mexico on February 14, 2005, aged 80.
She is perhaps best known as a poet. This might be her most noted ability outside of the world of science fiction. However one of her poems Corruption of Metals received honors within SF circles by winning the Rhysling Award of the Science Fiction Poetry Association. Her best well-known work of science fiction is the story "When I was Miss Dow", which has been reprinted numerous times and received a James Tiptree, Jr. retrospective award nomination.
She also appeared in Harlan Ellison's anthology Dangerous Visions, with the story "Go, Go, Go, Said the Bird"
