Ingrid Claire Wenzler believes Joseph Brodsky’s claim that Anna Akhmatova’s first successful line was her pseudonym and has always been tempted to but hasn’t yet raised Akhmatova’s five open a’s to a more even six.

Professionally, Ingrid has edited writing of all kinds, all shapes and sizes, for over thirteen years, though, the short story remains her focus and truest pleasure.
