liz has been writing poetry for as long as she can remember. she is dedicated to speak the name of the thing and be free. she has been performing for over 10 years, and it has given her a different perspective of the other folks in the room. when she gets up to speak- whether it’s to a room of 100, 10 or just you, she knows every word is valuable. all the world is a stage- and conversely, there is always one person listening. she writes with a strong rhetorical pedagogy that intention for the audience is the most important thing for any piece of literature one creates.
