I am an actress and poet who lived in the US for over 9 years and I am now back in my native city of Barcelona, Catalunya. I was a member of the San Francisco Poets Brigade, created by San Francisco laureate poet Jack Hirschmann, and a co-founder of the Chicago branch of the Poets Brigade. I will be doing the half marathon, and it is my first time here. Glad to meet you all.

I’m a disabled mum of 1 lad & 1 fur baby, I’m studying part time for a BA in English Literature & Creative Writing. I’ve had to put writing on the back burner for a while due to complications with my conditions but I’m determined to start writing again & when I saw the Poetry Marathon I really thought it would give me the kick up the butt I needed. Being a newbie though, I’ve gone for the half marathon! I’m also a mixed media artist and love to draw, sketch, colour - everything I can do that’s creative I love 💖.

Greetings fellow poets! I am 34 going to 25 and my hobbies are singing, writing music; poetry and short film scripts. I love gaming, larping and intellectual stimulation and hold the Geek flag high. I like to think of myself as Basorexic-pan-sapiosexual; if you would like to know what means just ask or try figure it out. I will be writing from sunny South Africa, although with the winter we are experiencing the sun made retire for good soon. All the best to my fellow competitors and may the best poet be inspirational.

Writer, artist, and passionate analyzer of everything. I've been writing since I knew what a pencil was and they can't get me to stop.

I had a book of poetry published via a publisher that went bust keeping my money and providing @ 15 copies of Facets In Poetry. I received these copies the day before my sons' murder. I did write to release grief and have begun to write again. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia so the marathon really was a challenge for me but I made it.

Been there, done that. Began with reading law, embarked on broadcasting, dabbled in PR, dived into marketing, harnessed sales and now doing corporate strategy. Oh, and still in love with motorsports.

*Marathon Novice* I am a 50 year old wife and mother. I suffer from fibromyalgia. My writing is my outlet and the easiest way to work through my daily struggles. I am honored to participate in this marathon and I can't wait to get started. Don't be surprised if you sense bitterness and darkness in some of my work. It is what it is and I have to release it somehow.

I am a retired DeeJay, turned Actor/Writer. Have enjoyed the creativeness in writing and the feel of portraying someone else. Have done community theater and can be see in the horror zombie film, 'Bled White'. I never thought I would do poetry until my creative writing class. The teacher liked my poems. Now, I will try anything to challenge my creativeness. I am doing the half challenge. Good Luck to All.

Hello everyone 🙂 my name is Chelsea Doane. I am 22 years old. Currently, I am going to college to become an administrative medical assistant. Writing, drawing, and volunteering at church are a few of my hobbies. Also, I love any type of music for the most part. I like to take on various writing challenges, so I'm super excited about participating in my first half marathon.
