Bonnie Naradzay leads poetry salons at a day shelter for homeless people and also at a retirement community, both in Washington DC.
Poems are in AGNI, New Letters (Pushcart nomination), RHINO, Kenyon Review online, Tampa Review, Florida Review online, EPOCH, The American Journal of Poetry, and others. While in graduate school, she took a class that Robert Lowell taught: “The King James Bible as English Poetry.” In 2010 she was awarded the New Orleans MFA poetry prize: a month’s stay with Ezra Pound’s daughter Mary in her castle in Northern Italy. While there, she enjoyed having tea with Mary, hearing cuckoos calling during mating season, and hiking in the Dolomites.
