Marilee Richards
Marilee Richards learned poetry from Charles Entrekin and others after she wandered into a workshop put on by the Berkeley Poets Coop in the eighties while working as an adoption interviewer for Alameda County. She attended the workshops for several years until the organization dissolved, also taking an occasional class at writing conferences. After dropping out for a while, she returned to poetry after moving to Arizona in 2001 where there was simply too much material to ignore. Her poems have been published in many journals which include The Yale Review, The Southern Review, Rattle, Poetry Northwest, The Journal, and The Sun. She won the 2016 William Matthews Poetry Prize. Her first book, A Common Ancestor, was published by Hip Pocket Press in 2000. Her manuscript, The Double Zero, was selected as the 2018 winner of the May Sarton New Hampshire Poetry Prize and will be published in 2019.
