Meet Ruth Happel!

Ruth has enjoyed writing poetry since the age of six. Once she realized it’s hard to make a living as a poet, she chose to study monkeys. After many years chasing an assortment of monkeys and apes through jungles, it was clear primatology is equally impractical and much muddier. She now enjoys writing poetry daily, and has replaced simians with shelties, an equally challenging animal to pursue. For over 20 years, her major form of poetry is haiku, enjoying its elegant simplicity.

Be sure to tune in Sunday at 6pm to hear Ruth's work, LIVE!
