Judith Ortiz Cofer was born in Hormigueros, a small town in Puerto Rico. When she was a young child her father's military career took the family to Paterson, New Jersey, and much of her childhood was spent traveling back and forth between Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland. At 15, her family moved again, this time to Augusta, Georgia, where she eventually earned a BA in English from Augusta.
