Rachelle Edwards is a poet, word-agitator and unconventional feminist. After kicking the American educational system to the curb, she decided to devote her time to reading, writing, and teaching her children to be authentic, inquisitive individuals. She was mentored by poet Christopher Kondrich, whose poetry book Valuing won the 2019 National Poetry Series, and poet Christine Hemp, who has taught writing at Harvard University and Iowa Summer Writing Program. When Rachelle is not reading or writing, she can usually be found talking to her plants.
