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] Her 1978 book on the artist Peter Voulkos[3] is considered the first contemporary craft monograph.[4]

Born in New York City on January 9, 1919,[5] Slivka obtained her degree in English from Hunter College in 1941.[2] In 1979 she was named an honorary fellow of the American Craft Council.[6] She died on September 2, 2004 in Southampton, New York.[5]

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."[7]
