Diane Ackerman was born in Waukegan, Illinois in 1948. Her formal education, a B.A.
in English from Pennsylvania State University (1970), an M.F.A. (1973), M.A. in English
(1976), and Ph.D. in English (1978), all from Cornell University, coincided with her
emergence as a lyric poet whose sensibilities are reminiscent of Thoreau, Whitman,
and A.R. Ammons, among others. During the late 1970s and 1980s, Ackerman published
three volumes of poetry and a verse drama, all with William Morrow. Ackerman gained
recognition for her for creative non-fiction with the publication of A Natural History of the Senses in 1990, a work which combines keen observation and research with autobiographical
insight. In A Natural History of Love (1994), and, most recently, A Slender Thread (1997), Ackerman continues her meditative exploration of the interconnection between
the natural and human worlds. She has extended her readership with the publication
of two non-fiction books for children: Monk Seal Hideaway (1995) and Bats: Shadows in the Night (1997). Her poetry appears in numerous anthologies and her prose is commissioned
by a variety of magazines including National Geographic, New Woman, The New Yorker, and Victoria.
Ackerman lives in Ithaca, NY with her husband, novelist Paul West.
The Diane Ackerman collection consists of manuscripts, galley proofs, and reproductions
of her published and unpublished writings, which include nature books, novels, poetry,
essays, and articles. The collection includes research materials and notes, photographs,
photocopies, press badges, and other printed material. Chief among her books are:
The Planets, Wife of Light, Twilight of the Tenderfoot, Lady Faustus, On Extended Wings, Reverse Thunder, A Natural History of the Senses, Jaguar of Sweet Laughter, The Moon by Whale Light, A Natural History of Love, Monk Seal Hideaway, The Rarest of the Rare, and A Slender Thread. Articles and essays in the collection include "Bats," "Crocodilians," "Penguins,"
"Whales," "Albatrosses," "Golden Monkeys," "Insect Love," "Last Refuge of the Monk
Seals," "We Are Listening," "Sympathetic Magic," "How to Watch the Sky," "The Natural
History of a Leaf," "Where the Sun Dines," and "The Children of Interplast"; and a
play "Reverse Thunder."
