Born in New York, author and artist Erica-Lynn Huberty obtained her BA in writing and fine arts from New York University, and received a double-Masters Degree from Bennington College in literature and visual arts. Her fiction, poetry, and essays have been anthologized in over seven collections. She is also the daughter of author Richard Gambino, and granddaughter of Presidential Freedom Award laureate and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Leo Cherne (an international refugee activist), which significantly helped shaped her views of human nature and world events. Her debut collection of short stories, Dog Boy and Other Harrowing Tales, was released in May, 2010. Her artwork will be featured in The Birding Life (Clarkson Potter, Oct. 2011). Her novel, The Radiant Boy is forthcoming.
Ms. Huberty has been a journalist for The New York Times, was a senior arts writer and art critic for The Southampton Press, and a regular feature writer and art critic for Sculpture magazine. Her articles and essays have been published by The Washington Post, Associated Press, Providence Journal, Petlife magazine, Portfolio magazine, New York Resident, and New York Gallery Guide. Her short fiction has been published in Thirteen Stories, Silo, Quix Arts Quarterly, The Minetta Review, and Gallatin Review.
Her rather infamous poem, “This Is Just To Say: for William Carlos Williams,” has been read by Garrison Keillor on his NPR Radio program The Writers Almanac and is published in Mr. Keillor’s anthology, Good Poems (2003), based on that show. In addition, the poem has been anthologized in The Muse Strikes Back (Story Line Press, 1997), The Literary Experience (Wadsworth, 2007), and quoted or included in over 200 literary and social commentary web pages in several languages; she has also been interviewed by NPR from the John Steinbeck Writers Fair. Her essay, “What’s In A Name,” is part of Barbara Arrighi’s 1999 book Thinking In and Out of the Box: Revisiting Race, Ethnicity, Class, and Gender in the United States. Her feature interview with artist Lynda Benglis has been anthologized in Conversations On Sculpture (University of Washington Press, 2007).
