about barbie angell….

It has been said that if Shel Silverstein and Dorothy Parker had conceived a child, the result would have been Barbie Dockstader Angell. Razor wit and simple rhyming verse combine to create an innovative style. Barbie has named it, “poetry for the common man.” (Although she does have plenty of women readers as well.) Bitter, satirical, humorous and sometimes brutally honest, her portfolio contains everything from rhyme to free verse, children’s and adults as well as short stories.
Barbie was raised in Illinois and has lived in the Asheville area since 1999. She has been writing since 1986 and has won awards both academically and artistically for her poems and short stories. Barbie has been published in small press books, magazines and newspapers throughout the years and has performed her work for audiences small and large around the country.
And yes, she does have an odd obsession with Alice in Wonderland.
