BIO
Virginia Schultz is a taijiquan (tai chi) teacher and practitioner, poet, occasional prose writer, mother, wife, professional meeting planner at the University of Colorado, runner, and lover of life in general. She has self-published poems in China Impressions and The Moon and Other Observations with her husband and also self-published I’m Pregnant, Pleased to Meet You that chronicles pregnancy and the first two years of her daughter’s life. In 2006 she participated in NaNoWrMo (National Novel Writing Month) and her 50,000 word first novel patiently awaits its editing next to her computer. Her writing is inspired by the inner and outer landscapes that she encounters and the bounty of nature, often in its edible form. Virginia plays the same 10 Irish tunes on her penny whistle (over and over) and is active in promoting sustainability at CU and in promoting the re-thinking of our local food and land systems. She lives with her husband, Stephen; their daughter, Rhiannon; and cat, Chenowith, in a straw bale home surrounded by a pine forest and at least two-dozen species of birds near Gold Hill, Colorado.
She now leads the poetry exercise each month for the Miscellaneous Mountain Misfits, a writing group that has meet for the past fifteen years in Gold Hill. http://themtnear.com/2015/11/misfits-create-15-years-of-poetry/
In April, 2016 she is one of eighteen poets writing daily for the Tiferet Journal. See her poems and support Tiferet at http://tiferetjournal.com/april-2016-poem-a-thon/poems-by-virginia-schultz-2016/
