ROXANNE CARTER
( contact: persephassa at gmail dot com )I was born in a California port town bordering the Pacific Ocean and grew up in a valley near the sea, scrambling through the chaparrall after lizards and bounding between rocks in the barranca. A voracious reader, I stayed up late reading laundry baskets full of books by the cerulean light of the public access channel. I have a BA from the College of Creative Studies at UCSB and an MFA in Fiction from Brown University, where I also taught Introductory Fiction and Intermediate Fiction workshops. I'm currently pursuing a Ph.d in Creative Writing at the University of Denver.

Kore.
Kore -- Greek for maiden or young girl. After her abduction by Hades, Kore was transformed into Persephone, she who destroys the light; her name was not safe to speak aloud. Persephassa is an older, archaic form of the name, which suggests pre-Hellenic origins. In Rome she was called Proserpina. Additionally, a kore is a classical Grecian statue characterized by an androgynous image and an enigmatically alluring smile.
Persephassa.com was registered in December, 2003. Previously, this site was presented in a variety manifestations on kore.lhabia.com [2000-2003], mesmerized.org/kore [1999-2000] and kore.prettie.com [1998-1999].
