Vanessa Vie

Vanessa Vie: abandoned a career in medicine in favour of literature, music, and visual art. Her latest collaboration is with British poet and artist Michael Horovitz. Her debut book Open Windows, Open Doors has just been published in Britain by New Departures. It is a volume of diverse poetic writings, plus a substantial selection of visual inventions. The book’s title invokes the opening of Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s, Populist  Manifesto: For Poets with Love / “Poets come out of your closets / Open your windows, open your doors, / You have been holed–up too long / in your closet worlds.” She lives and works in the UK.
