Belly Dancing in a Brown Sweatsuit

Poet Elaine Sorrentino is Communications Director at South Shore Conservatory in Hingham, MA, where she creates promotional and first-person content for press and for a blog called SSC Musings.

Her poetry has been published online and in print in blogs and journals such as Minerva Rising, Willawaw Journal, Glass: A Journal of Poetry, Gyroscope Review, Ekphrastic Review, Quartet Journal, Writing in a Woman’s Voice, ONE ART: a journal of poetry, Muddy River Poetry Review, Etched Onyx Magazine, and Haikuniverse.

A two-time breast cancer survivor, Elaine, along with poet Dzvinia Orlowsky, founded a program called Pink LemonAid, where writers, artists, and musicians are invited to share art inspired by their experience with breast cancer—either as a survivor or as support for a loved one.

Elaine lives in Pembroke, Massachusetts with her musician husband and various farm animals who wander into their yard.
