"I am hearing poetry when awake

Dreaming poetry when asleep

Breathing poetry with each breathe

I am living in a poem." Susie Clevenger

 

Congratulations go out this week, to Susie Clevenger, on receiving our NWCU Multipe Award for Creativity designate.

BACKGROUND:

Susie started writing in high school, but for most of her adult life she took a haitus from her writing. In 2006, Susie's life took an abrupt turn for her, as she was injured in an automobile accident. After a period of time, the poet was reawakened within Susie, and she began writing again in 2009.

Susie's writing has been featured in such online publications as The Brinks Gallery, The New Writers and Poetry and Prose Magazine. Now Susie can add our Award of Creativity to her various blogs and pages.

Congratulations are in order for the wonderful Sheila Moore who takes home this weeks badge with her entry More than a Poet a wonderful example proving that she is just that.  From photography, art and words, Sheila brings us fantastic works.

From her about page...

“I offer my words for you to read; my heart for you to see; my love for you to feel; my soul…for God to take.” ~Sheila

I have been writing poetry and prose since early childhood. I have been published in print anthologies, on Writer’s Digest’s poetry site, and in several online journals.

In 2011, I self-published a collection of poetry entitled Shaping Time which is now available as a second edition at a reduced price. Continue reading for more information. Shaping Time is a poetry chapbook that delivers peaceful reflections across the ages and stages of life through various writing forms and visual art. Sheila Moore’s display of visual poetry along with its contemplative messages creates a meditative ambiance for all readers, whether or not fans of poetry.

Congratulations Sheila! And thank you for bringing your work and sharing with NWCU

@NWCreativeUnion ~ Weekly Designate for Creativity

We are so very pleased to announce that Ginny Brannen of Inside Out Poetry takes home our prize! This week, Ginny brought an absolutely gorgeous submission to our Wednesday Wake Up that included her always fantastic words, beautiful imagery, and this week she really pushed the envelope creating on outstanding video to accompany the piece.  You can view her winning entry here.

About Ginny:

From the inside out, Ginny Brannan’s inner poet has finally emerged. Hailing from New England, Ginny took poetry courses in high school, and poetry and creative writing in college. Foregoing college degree, she went into the workforce while still a teen, where she remained steadily employed for many, many years. In 2009, Ginny found herself out of work, another victim of the economy, facing the ominous task of finding employment in a cyber world and in a declining job market. Emotionally sinking into a darker place each day, her dearest friend, also a writer, suggested she tap into her creative side and pick up pen and write--or Macbook and type as the case may be. Writing pulled her out of her rut, and she has been pouring herself into poetry ever since.

To connect with Ginny and follow her on her journey, simply swing by her directory listing.

Please join us in saying thank you for playing along, and wishing Ginny a big congratulations on the win!

Stay tuned for next week's Wake-Up call and come play along. To learn more visit us here
