Several times a month we connect with our contributors showing where they have been, where they are now, and what’s up for the future.
Name: Angela Brommel
Title of Pieces Published in Sweet: ” From Highway 89 “
Issue: 2.3
You can find Angela working at Nevada State University as Senior Advisor & Executive Director for the Arts. Be sure to see what else Angela is up to on her website.
What are some major accomplishments you have had since your Sweet publication?
Currently I am Clark County Poet Laureate (CCPL) in Nevada, and I serve as Board Trustee with Henderson Libraries.
Can you tell us about a current/ongoing project that you’re excited about?
The theme for my CCPL project is poetry for resilience. It has been wonderful to spend time with people as we look at reading poetry as a contemplative practice and as a place to find peace. We’ve also mixed poetry with outdoor experiences like birdwatching, and we have learned about other arts in relationship to poetry.
Who is your favorite author?
I just can’t choose, but lately I read Ada Limon’s work again and again.
What is your favorite poem/essay/book?
Diving into the Wreck by Adrienne Rich
What inspires you to write?
There are so many stories, and we all need a story that only someone else can tell.
What are you reading right now?
In the Shelter by Padraig O Tuama
