Kevin Zepper and Megan Baldrige
Megan Baldrige is an Albuquerque poet and retired English teacher who has written 12 books of poetry published by Poetry Playhouse Publications, three of them winners and two finalists recognized by the NM-AZ Book Awards. She writes about knitting, gardening, and dog love and sometimes about the vagaries of politics. During the pandemic you could find her, masked of course, walking in the Bosque along the river, muttering, tossing words into the air, trailed by the knitting ball that refused to stay home. Being a parent to a daughter, three sons, and a grandparent to two granddaughters and three dogs, she roots her life in joy.
Megan’s many books can be found on the Poetry Publications page! For sale at the event.
