The Mudroom and a member of the Redbud Writer’s Guild. She calls the Rockies home —where she’s happiest on their edges, pretending to be a Colorado native despite her flatland origins. Connect with her on Instagram:

Chelle Wilson
Jesus was never part of the club, never invited to speak at any of the temples, was NOT welcome in polite company. He spoke truth. He was Radical (look up its origins). If you’ve ever been excluded or invited OUT, you’re in DIVINE company. I am a very serious person, so I laugh a lot. I write because it helps me understand the way I feel about the world. I married my high school sweetheart, and together we made two exceptional people and raised a dog so remarkable, I wrote a book about the faith lessons he taught me. I envision a world where each of us embraces the Perfect, Precise Image of God that we are, naturally, at every given moment, even as each of us exists in a liminal state.

Anita Scott
Poet-in-Residence
At some point in elementary school, my mom bought me my first book of poetry by Nikki Giovanni. . .I read that book over and over. What I didn’t know at the time was, the Bible is poetry, so I had, in essence, been introduced to poetry even before I knew what it was. I can remember reading Psalms, admiring David, and then taking his praises and laments and turning them into rhyme schemes. Years and decades later, I too began lamenting and rejoicing through the use of rhythm and rhyme and have found poetry to be healing, cathartic, and fun, so much so, I love teaching others how to write poetry and I love seeing faces when they realize, “Whoa. I can do this too?” I have a heart to echo the chambers of Heaven through poetry and hope that others find healing and wholeness as they listen.
