Much of that time was spent working with displaced people from Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia who were in refugee camps in Thailand and the Philippines, while waiting to be resettled in America. Her work has been published in Gyroscope Review, Roanoke Review, Third Wednesday, One Art, Sheila Na Gig, Anti Heroin Chic, and other journals and anthologies. Happily retired, she lives in an endless summer state of mind. More at: https://lauriekuntz.myportfolio.com/home–1
