In "Encounters With The World," Ann Tudor offers the listener her uniquely poignant poetry on the beauty of the moment -- a falling leave, a soft winter's snow, the glow of a summer moon. She holds a BA from DePauw University and a graduate degree from Vanderbilt University. She has worked as a teacher at the junior high level and at the university level. Other full and part-time work includes church organist, editor, choir member, craftsperson, pianist, student of the cello, hands-on healer, and--though this doesn't count as work--avid reader. She has written children's and adult books, recorded audiobooks, and had two books published, Hesitating At The Gate and Fast and Fearless Cooking: A Cookbook of Ideas and Techniques Rather Than Recipes. Mother of three and grandmother of five, Ann lives in Toronto.
