Background

Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village, New York City.

Born in New York City, Rossant is the daughter of New Yorker James Rossant, architect and designer of Reston, Virginia, and Colette Rossant, a cookbook author and food writer.

Rossant grew up on Sullivan Street in Greenwich Village. After graduating from St. Ann's School in Brooklyn,[1] She attended Dartmouth College[2] and then the Johns Hopkins University, where she studied Creative Writing.[3]

She started publishing poems in Extensions literary magazine when she was 14 years old.[4] At Dartmouth, she co-founded The Stonefence Review literary magazine as an alternative to the highly conservative Dartmouth Review.[5] She studied poetry under Richard Eberhart and Kenneth Koch.

Personal

Street in Garden City, Cairo.

Rossant traces her maternal line back to the Pallache/Palacci family, Sephardic Jews who moved from Spain to Morocco, the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey, and Egypt.[28] One ancestor, Samuel Pallache, served as dragoman in concluding a treaty between Morocco and the Netherlands (then a young Dutch Republic) in 1608. Several were "grand rabbis" in 19th Century Smyrna (Izmir): Haim Palachi (Haim Palacci, Hayyim Pallache), Abraham Palacci (Avraham Pallache), and Rahamim Nissim Palacci.[29] Beth Hillel Synagogue (Turkish Bet-Ilel Sinagogu) in Izmir, stands in the former home of Avraham Palache.[30] Great-grandfather Vita Palacci (born in Izmir ~ 1863) owned lemon perfume factories in Upper Egypt.[31] In 1897, he founded the store "Palacci Menasce et Fils"[32] (known in Egyptian Arabic as Balatshi) on Bayn Al-Nahdain Street in the Muski district of Cairo. By 1909, "Palacci" had become a full-fledged department store under the name "Palacci Fils, Haim et Cie" and comparable to Cairo's branch of Bon Marché: "a three-storey, 1,200-square-meter store, employing 20 office clerks and 120 salespeople in at least thirteen departments, and was 'doing a large share of the wholesale and retail trade in Egypt and the Soudan'."[33][34] After World War I, he bought one of five new villas in Garden City, Cairo, which replaced the Hotel Ritz Cairo (demolished 1905).[35] The Palacci family were associated with the Sha'ar Hashamayim Synagogue (Cairo) on Adly Street in downtown Cairo and were one of many families who contributed to its maintenance.[36] Vita's son Isaac, a commercial director who sourced items for the store all across the Mediterranean, met and married Marceline Bémant in Paris. Later, Rossant's parents also met in Paris and came to live in America in the 1950s.[31]

She traces her paternal line back to Warsaw and Seirijai, the latter in Lithuania just across the Polish border.
