Congratulations are in order for some of the local poetry community that Heights Arts is proud to have worked with through our literary programs and who published new work in 2022.

Siaara Freeman (Ekphrastacy) wrote Urbanshee, a retelling of fairy tales and mythological stories through a modern and urban lens.

Suzanne Ondrus (Ekphrastacy) wrote Death of an Unvirtuous Woman, poems on the 1881 murder of German Ohio immigrant Mary Bach by her husband Carl Bach and a look at media, gender, and economic pressures.

Bill Newby (Ekphrastacy) wrote Casting, a banquet of subjects and flavors, serious and comic, somber and fun. Worth reading alone, then sharing with friends.
