Poetry is a tool. It is a voice to be heard. There are formal poems of all styles, and they are part of a history of poetry. There is no protocol or "right way" to express poems. The door is open. Words need people. People need words. Poems become songs, slogans, works of art, and prayers. My poems come from the heart without much ado. I seldom edit or stress over them. They are spontaneous and written in the early morning when I relax, write and ponder life. They are an impression of feelings on many subjects spurred by my personal love of a world free from societal expectations, war, pain…mehr

Poetry is a tool. It is a voice to be heard. There are formal poems of all styles, and they are part of a history of poetry. There is no protocol or "right way" to express poems. The door is open. Words need people. People need words. Poems become songs, slogans, works of art, and prayers. My poems come from the heart without much ado. I seldom edit or stress over them. They are spontaneous and written in the early morning when I relax, write and ponder life. They are an impression of feelings on many subjects spurred by my personal love of a world free from societal expectations, war, pain and suffering. These poems cover nature, love, family, introspection, protest, common journeys of all peoples and the possibility of peace and rebirth on this planet and beyond. I am particularly interested in working with young people who begin the creative world of marks on paper, scribblings, drawings and writings at a very young age. They are a voice to be heard. Storytelling and rhymes are symbolic language from early times passed by word of mouth through elders and succeeding generations. I have connected with small groups of poets in coffee shops, on the street corners, in fairs, in family gatherings, weddings, passings, all speaking poetry as they experience it. They are my second community, my poet friends whom I join in person or online. These poems are written between 2014 and 2023. They belong to a trilogy of poetry books entitled: Spectrum, A Poetry Memoir; Spectrum II, A Poetry R-evolution; and this book, Poetry III, A Poetry Journal.

Autorenporträt
Rachel Wright is a "never retired" educator. She lives in an intentional community in southern Indiana established by her father and friends in 1966. She was an active part of the founding of an alternative school which continues to this day. She was also a professor of education in a local community college for ten years. She has published in magazines and academic journals both in education and the study of intentional communities. As archivist and publisher of the community, she preserves and shares their history, stories and works. Her passions include family, midwifery, childcare, alternative education, and fostering creativity and originality in poetry and the arts. She bakes artisan bread (a sour dough advocate), makes wine, paints, writes poetry and humorous short stories and attends workshops in these areas. She has six children and is grandmother to an ever-expanding group of 15 plus. She is an active member of the Indiana Poetry Society since 2019 and is involved in other local art and poetry groups. She is available for workshops within her PoART enterprise and hopes to expand a platform for other poets around Indiana and elsewhere.
