The story of

Kay Tobler Liss

Kay Tobler Liss’s greatest passion is for the natural world. She began writing poetry while out in the woods where she grew up on Long Island, New York. She won a prize for her poetry at 17, and went on to study literature at Bard College and Environmental Studies at Southampton College. Kay Tobler Liss wrote for newspapers and magazines for many years, and also taught literature on the high school and college level but had always wanted to write a novel. Her first novel, “The Last Resort,” published in July 2020, combined both her passion for nature and for social justice for oppressed people. Her new novel, “Coming Home,” deals with how nature can not only save us as individuals but help us find common ground with other people and all living things.
