Southwest Festival of the Written Word: Elise Stuart
Friday, September 29, 2017, 02:00pm - 03:00pm |
"Memoir: Readings from her new memoir, My Mother and I, We Talk Cat." Elise Stuart was Silver City's Poet Laureate from 2014 to 2017. During her term, she promoted expanding the power of the written word in our community, giving voice to young and old, emphasizing the need for expression through poetry. To accomplish one of her goals-- empowering youth to create their own poems--she held a series of poetry workshops for children of all ages, focusing on the human connection with the natural world.
Stuart also led the effort to air a weekly literary radio program on KURU 89.1FM (Gila Mimbres Community Radio) called "Use Your Words!"
Her poems have been published in Poems 2, a book of art and poetry; in "The Rag," a small poetry collection published in Albuquerque; and in "Sunrise of the Spirit." Her first book of poetry, Another Door Calls, was published in the spring of 2017.
