DORMAN, Sonya (Hess)

(1924-)

   US writer who began publishing sf in 1963 with "The Putnam Tradition" for AMZ, and who established a reputation in the field for intensely written, sometimes highly metaphorical stories. They are surprisingly unlike her rather straightforward POETRY, for which she is generally best known; the first of her verse collections was Poems (coll 1970). Planet Patrol (fixup 1978), a juvenile, is sf.
