Ronda Broatch is the author of Some Other Eden (Finishing Line Press, 2005). Twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize, Ronda is the recipient of the 2005 Kay Snow Poetry Award, 2006 WPA William Stafford Award, and 2007 Artist Trust GAP Grant.

In answer to our question of why she writes, Ronda responded:

“When the world sounds its loud demands and the journal gets buried under heaps of bills and papers, something eventually snaps. There arises a physical ache, a backlog of untold stories jamming vital organs, causing irritability and mental distress. One day alone with pen and paper is usually the only way to begin the recovery/discovery process so necessary to well-being and centeredness.”
