30 Poets in 30 Days

Part of the fun of doing this project is visiting poets in their work spaces and homes. Paula Ray's home said "An artist lives here" from the moment you step off the sidewalk out front. It is a beautiful, inspiring space. No wonder she is doing so many good things in the arts!

Paula Ray  is a semi-retired psychologist and a lover of reading and writing poetry. Inspired by Marjorie Saiser and Lucy Atkins, Paula became an active member of a group of poets that meets monthly at Francie and Finch bookshop in downtown Lincoln. Paula is also an active playwright and member of the Angel’s Theatre Company Playwriting Collective. Her new work will be performed this summer in the annual First Flight Play Festival in July. In her soon to be released book, Max and the Listening Tree, Paula hopes to inspire young people to achieve a sense of personal calm and self-awareness in nature.
