Eva Salzman (born 1960) is a noted contemporary American poet.

Eva Salzman was born in 1960 in New York City, and grew up in Brooklyn where – from the age of 10 until 22 – she was a dancer and later a choreographer [ [http://www.bloodaxebooks.com/personpage.asp?author=Eva+Salzman Bloodaxe Books: Author Page > Eva Salzman ] ] . She was educated at Bennington College and Columbia University, moving to Britain in 1985. Her eclectic background has led to work in cross-arts projects with artists, dancers and singers. Her teaching work – for children, teenagers and adults – has included projects in London’s East End and a residency at Springhill Prison as well as continuing work for the Poetry Society’s Poet in the City and Poetryclass projects and co-devising a Start Writing Poetry course for the Open University. She is co-editor with Amy Wack of forthcoming anthology Women's Work: Modern Women Poets Writing in English.

Salzman's first collection of poetry, The English Earthquake, was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation and her second volume Bargain With The Watchman won a Special Commendation [ [http://www.opendemocracy.net/author/Eva_Salzman.jsp openDemocracy Author -Eva Salzman ] ] .
