About Ilana

Ilana Marcus had her first poem published at age 8 in a kids' magazine, and after a long, long hiatus, has returned to creative pursuits. Her writing is often set in cities she has called home, drawing on the familiarity of place to bring her characters to life. She writes about Jewish life, family, identity and what it generally is to be human.
