"Vinograd became part of the "street culture" of Berkeley beginning in the 1960s and was often called a "street poet". She was also an active participant in the influential poetry slam scene at Cafe Babar in the Mission District from the mid-1980s through the 1990s, where she yelled "Staaaaaarting!" at the beginning of each night of poetry. She published numerous books of poetry and her work has been included in a number of anthologies, including Berkeley! A Literary Tribute. She also edited the anthology New American Underground Poetry, Vol 1: The Babarians of San Francisco alongside David Lerner and Alan Allen. She was profiled in Contemporary Authors.
