About Me

Bio

Barbara Ruth Saunders was born in the Bronx and grew up in Westchester County, New York. She moved to California at 17, lured by the lore of the Merry Pranksters and the sound of the Grateful Dead. She is drawn to exploring the moments when collective life and inner life converge. When not working for money or birding, Barbara features at poetry readings around the San Francisco Bay Area and writes prose, poetry, and the occasional play for solo performance.
