Welcome to the Chattanooga Writers Guild
|
|
At our meeting this coming Tuesday 12th of May, we welcome back Helga Kidder.
Helga lives in the Tennessee hills with her husband. She is co-founder of the Chattanooga Writers’ Guild and leads one of their poetry groups. Her poems have been published recently in Poetry Quarterly, American Diversity Report, Slipstream and others. She has four books of poetry, Wild Plums, Luckier than the Stars, Blackberry Winter, and Loving the Dead, which won the 2020 Blue Light Press Book Award.
“My book, Loving the Dead, was propelled by my sister's death two years ago. I couldn't stop writing and in a sense I wrote grief over her death out of myself.”
Loving the dead is now available at Amazon

We continue to respect the quarantine and for the time being we are not holding formal meetings. However, you can find many of us online vocally holding forth virtually, virtuously but never vincibly!
