Life and writing

Poller was born in Jessup, Pennsylvania.[1] She received a B.A. in history from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and an M.A. in writing seminars from the Johns Hopkins University.[1] She began her literary career in 1966 with the publication of the short story "Wedding Party in Piazza Navona".[1]

Poller has later contributed to English-language publications such as

Muhammad al-Durrah incident[5]—a "myth" and "a crudely fabricated video" as she described it in her 2014 book about the incident,[6] and anti-Jewish violence in France[7] such as the murder of Ilan Halimi.[8] In addition to being a writer, Poller is also a novelist, author of illustrated books for youths, and a translator, notably of the philosopher, Emmanuel Levinas
, which has been said to manage "to preserve the richness of Levinas's evocative and difficult French",[9] and "are rendered into a very readable English".[10]

She participated in the international counter-jihad conferences in Brussels in 2007[2][11] and in 2012,[12] and has been on the advisory board of the International Free Press Society.[13]
