Felice Aull was born in Vienna during the Nazi era and came to the U.S. with her parents as a young child. New York City was not her first home in the U.S. but it is the place where she has felt most comfortable for many years. She started writing poetry late in life, in her 60s. Her poems have been published in a variety of print and online literary magazines and her full-length poetry collection, Mandatory Evacuation Zone, was published in July 2017. She retired from the faculty of New York University School of Medicine where she is now an adjunct faculty member in the Division of Medical Humanities. At NYU she and her husband, Martin Nachbar, founded a widely used website resource for teaching and scholarship in medical humanities called the Literature, Arts, and Medicine Database. She mourns her husband’s death in 2015 and is grateful for the distractions of Manhattan. Website: www.feliceaull.com
