K. E. Duffin received her A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. from Harvard University, where she studied the history of science and began to write poetry in the old forms. After teaching in the Expository Writing Program at Harvard she studied printmaking and painting at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Her reviews have appeared in Parnassus and Harvard Review, where she won the annual Ignatz and Berthe Zitomirsky—Harvard Review prize for excellence in reviewing in 1995.
