About Me
- Rachel Jamison Webster
- I grew up in the small town of Madison, Ohio, and now live in Evanston, IL, where I am an Artist in Residence (in poetry) at Northwestern University. I also edit the online anthology of international poetry, UniVerse, located at www.universeofpoetry.org. My poems have been published in many journals, including Poetry, The Southern Review, The Madison Review, Perihelion and blossombones, and I have won a few awards for my writing and teaching, including an Academy of American Poets' Young Poets Prize. For several years, I created and taught writing workshops for city teens, and in this capacity, co-edited two anthologies of writing by Chicago youth, Alchemy (2001) and Paper Atrium (2005). I have my MFA from the Warren Wilson Program for Writers. I am happy to give readings or workshops, and may be contacted at r-webster@northwestern.edu. Thank you for reading, and best wishes to you.
