Meet Poet, Rick Hilber.

Rick, age 72, in retirement from careers as an English teacher and lawyer, has had a varied work life. His six grandchildren are his pride and joy. Writing poetry became a very serious avocation when he finished his book of poems in 2015 and then a second in 2016. Both titles are still available for purchase from his publisher or otherwise on the internet: Down the Highway, a Peace (Freisen Press 2015) and In Pieces in the Plaza (Freisen Press 2016). He sponsors and hosts with other poets the Birds Nest Open Mic Zoom gatherings the last Sunday of each month. You can access the Birds Nest from its Facebook page and specifically an event announcement page.

If you'd like to hear some of Rick's work, please tune in to our live reading on Sunday evening!

Meet Poet, Deb Kellogg... Deb grew up in Minneap

Meet Poet, Deb Kellogg...

Deb grew up in Minneapolis, went off to the wilds of Iowa for college, then even farther afield to Germany to study, live and fall in love. She's the entire German dept. at Normandale Community College, but pinch hits in the English dept. when needed. She's a professor, a mother, a grandmother, tree hugger and a lover of words in both languages.

She's been published in both English & German. When talking about her writing, she says, "I write about the small, ordinary things in life that bring such pleasure, annoyance, pain and joy. I'm a quiet hedonist and savor the sensual in everything I write. It's in the everyday that we catch glimpses of the passion, the wonder and the awe of the larger universe and connect with every other person who's ever lived."

Join us Sunday evening to hear some of Deb's poems live!
