Annie Finch is an award-winning poet who weaves language, magic, and matriarchy through her roles as writer, cultural commentator, and performance artist.

She is the author of Spells: New and Selected Poems and six other volumes of poetry, as well as verse plays, opera libretto, A Poet’s Craft and a dozen other influential books on poetry, and writings on feminism and spirituality including the groundbreaking Choice Words: Writers on Abortion.

Her poetry appears onstage at Carnegie Hall, in the Paris Review, Harvard Review, and New York Times, and in the Penguin Book of Twentieth-Century American Poetry.

Passionately devoted to poetic pattern and rhythm as a path to connection with self, nature, and spirit, Annie embraces the poet’s ancient roles as creator, teacher, spellcaster, healer, and priestess.

She is based in New York City and travels to celebrate the seasons of nature and life through reading, speaking, and ritual poetry theater.
