Carol Altieri was born in Boston Massachusetts and grew up on a farm in East Andover, New Hampshire. The echoes of early life on the farm and natural world rooted in New England's rocky soil enhance her poetry. Other poems are interwoven with the amazing variety of creatures and landscapes across the earth. Her poems criss-cross the planet interwoven with travels in the United States and other countries: British Isles, Canada, China, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Soviet Union, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, and Venezuela.
The poems in Hiking the Rugged Shore reflect the pendulum that swings between the memories and experiences of family members and engagement with the natural world.
