About Me:
Aviva Derenowski has published three books, including “Talking to My Mother – 99 Anecdotes” and edited the anthology “Celebrating Our Mothers.” Aviva’s poems appear in several literary magazines.
Born in Argentina, she lived in Israel for forty years and then immigrated to the United States.
Aviva now lives in Staten Island, New York, within walking distance of Silver Lake Park and the Hudson River. There, she enjoys watching ducks float, and seagulls soar. She practices Vipassana meditation twice daily for an hour.
She is married to Alex Derenowski, the love of her life.
Aviva has been expressing herself in writing since childhood and has focused on poetry for the last five years since she believes poets have important messages to share.
