Whoever Finds This: I Love You

About the author

Born in 1930, Moskowitz spent her early years in Detroit and Jackson, Michigan. She married just out of high school when she was 18 and had her first child at 19. In Michigan, she worked for the Democratic Party, becoming county vice-chairman, until her husband’s job took the family to Washington. There she enrolled at GW. She credits a senior-year creative writing class—her first—with inspiring her to write.

She went on to earn a Master’s degree and later a doctorate from GW. She taught middle school for 12 years before returning to GW to teach and direct the creative writing program. Ten years later she became department chair.

She teaches creative writing and Jewish American literature.

Faye was my creative writing teacher at GW. She was a wonderful teacher. She gave me a copy of this book.
