Rose Slivka (January 9, 1919 – September 2, 2004) was an American poet and writer for women's magazines in the twentieth century.[1] From 1959 to 1979 she was the editor-in-chief for Craft Horizons (now American Craft Magazine).[2]
Early life
Born in New York City, Slivka obtained her degree in English from Hunter College in 1941.[2]
Work on Craft Horizons
Slivka is notable for shifting Craft Horizons magazine away from technical articles towards more professional and critical writing that included contributions from many outside the field.[1] While serving as editor-in-chief at Craft Horizons, Slivka published The New Ceramic Presence in 1961, which the American Craft Council called "groundbreaking."[3]
