Rachel Kellum Poetry Reading - Rescheduled

Walking the Burn, a powerful powerful collection that explores the terrain of generational family trauma and healing in the context of the earth and the natural world.

Rachel Kellum lives with her family at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains where she has made a life teaching greenhouse gardening, visual and language arts to valley children, writing at Adams State University, and humanities and literature courses for Trinidad State College. For seven years running, she and a posse of local poets have put on the Crestone Poetry Festival. Kellum earned a BFA in Art from Millikin University and an MA in English from Colorado State. Her career began as an English and art instructor at Morgan Community College for eleven years, during which time she served six years as director of the MCC CACE Gallery of Fine Art and host of Open Mic Poetry Nights, featuring Colorado’s finest poets. A Pushcart Prize nominee and NFSPS award winning poet, her poetry has been featured in several online journals and print collections. She leads writing workshops, performs her poetry around Colorado and blogs at wordweeds.com. Her first book, ah, published by Liquid Light Press, was released in 2012.
