Victoria Floor is an activist who happens to be a retired public school teacher (also marine mammal scientist and historical archaeologist) and life-long poet/writer. She currently resides in Princeton, NJ, having lived in three Latin American countries as well as nine U.S. states, writing in each of them about things that catch her attention and move her. Though he is probably turning in his grave to hear it, she was mentored for nearly 30 years by the accomplished gnostic poet, Paul Bray. She currently has ten self-published titles on Amazon: Via Terra (a collection of poetry), Dee Generation (a "proem"--book-length poem in doggerel--about the Baby Boomers), 80% Cacao: The Darker Side of Victoria Floor (poems); The Trouble With Poets (a WWII memoir); Crone-icles (more poetry); Mutter Falter (family portrait in prose); Just a Song at Twilight (long poem re grief); Permaculture (poems); I'll Ask 'Er (essays on AK); My Sweet, Short Death (Y.A. novel); Artana (novel forthcoming). Floor is passionate about exploring means of adapting to climate change with as much peace as possible and advancing the potential of the de facto global community. She would argue that we live in the Anthropocene and must, therefore, shift paradigms, politics, and personalities to avoid self-destruction. She also grieves, along with all sentient beings, this, the Sixth Great Extinction Event of Earth's history. She does NOT expect to live to see colonization of Mars, but is ever hopeful... She insists that her grown children have a future of quality.
