ISD 625-Saint Paul Public Schools

Allison is a Minnesota-native who feels most at home in a book or on a trail. Poetry connects these two passions. Rather than viewing it as inaccessible or rigid, Allison approaches poetry as a malleable container for life’s complexities. Allison also has a kinship to writers whose works engage the natural or spiritual environments they call home. In her seminary studies and on forest hikes, Allison has explored and questioned how belonging is experienced and expressed in poetic forms. Now she is excited to invite others to have their own encounters with the joy and power of poetry.
