This morning, we meet poet Kimberly McNeil...

Kimberly began writing poetry about the same time that she began dopamine therapy for her newly diagnosed Parkinson’s disease. She feels that dopamine shows great promise in treating mental health issues, particularly addiction. She is a retired naval officer and physician and resides in Southwest Florida with her husband of 34 years. She strives to write the truth, often times targeting stereotypes and hypocrisy. She lost her only child in 2018 just days before he was to begin college and has written extensively about his death.

Hear more of Kimberly's work this weekend during our #Livestream event!

Meet Poet, George Colburn.

George is an award-winning #poet and a lifelong resident of St. Paul, Minnesota. He was awarded the Veterans Voices Award in 2019 from the Minnesota Humanities Commission, the Order of Shakespeare Medal from Motivational Strips (worldwide poetry forum 7M+ members), and has published four books, Payday (1973), A Punctuated Echo (2018), Milking the Dragon (2019), and An Undeclared War: Poetry Born in Vietnam (2020), and has published in numerous poetry anthologies and literary magazines, including the latest Witness Writers Anthology 2022, and the Itasca Community College Spring Thaw Literary Magazine, and reads his poetry at various venues throughout the Twin Cities.

As the son of #deaf parents, his work is strongly influenced by his experiences acting as an interpreter for his parents and the larger world and by his exposure to the deaf community. These experiences have engendered in him a love for language clarity, rhythm, and the craft of writing.

Join our #livestream this Sunday to experience some of George's work and show support for local poets as they share their gifts.

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!
