Wikipedia, 08-20-2015: (Lucia Berlin; b. November 12, 1936 in Juneau, Alaska; d. November 12, 2004, Marina del Rey, California; was an American short story writer; up through the early 1990s, Berlin taught creative writing in a number of venues, including the San Francisco County Jail and the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University; she also took oral histories from elderly patients at Mt. Zion Hospital; in the fall of 1994, Berlin began a two-year teaching position as Visiting Writing at University of Colorado, Boulder. Near the end of her term, she was one of four campus faculty awarded the Student Organization for Alumni Relations Award for Teaching Excellence-- "To win a teaching award after two years is unheard of," the English Chair Katherine Eggert said later in an obituary; Berlin was asked to stay on at the end of her two-year term; she was named associate professor, and continued teaching there until 2000)
