30 Poets in 30 Days

Grace Bauer: Grace Bauer visited Larksong Writers Place on a cold, grey day where we recorded her beautiful poem and then talked about poetry as the wind blew outside. We wish we had recorded that part too! Grace’s wisdom as a poet and a teacher is worth preserving for the ages! Grace was born and raised in Pennsylvania, and has lived in New Orleans, Montana, Massachusetts, Virginia, and Nebraska. She worked as a waitress, a telephone solicitor, an insurance clerk, a census processor, a barmaid, and a librarian’s assistant, before earning her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Massachusetts—Amherst and beginning a thirty-year career as an award-winning teacher of Creative Writing, Literature, and Women’s Studies at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
