Robin Tikvah Barratt

I am a Jew by Choice and so grateful for that. Judaism turned out to be what I had always been looking for, with many early influences leading my way here. I’ve been writing almost all my life. I’m in my early 60s now.  So many years ago,  I started college at TCU, spent a semester at Bennington–and transferred to Barnard where I graduated with  a degree in American Studies. I am a native Texan, but also spent a long time in NYC. I returned to  Texas at 29. I’ve been living in Austin since 1999.
