Wordy-Smith

By Linda Varsell Smith

A collection of original poems by Oregon Poet, Linda Varsell Smith. From Linda: When I was three I talked in rhyme. At six I dictated rhymed quatrains. I have diaries from age 11. I have written, poetry and prose as soon as I could. I have worked on literary publications since high school, producing The Eloquent Umbrella when I taught creative writing at Linn-Benton Community College, edited for Calyx Books for over 30 years. I have served as president of the Oregon Poetry Association and PEN Women in Portland. I have given poetry readings, workshops, judged poetry contests. I wrote 12 youth fantasy novels and this is my 16th full-length book of poetry. At www.rainbowcommmunications.org I wrote examples and provided directions for almost 1000 poetry patterns. When I married Court Smith I truly became a word-smith. Currently most of my focus is on poetry: word-playing, word dancing, word-delight.
