Teri Petz was fascinated by poetry since she was a little girl, before she could read and was happy when she recited poetry. In school she realized that writing was easy for her and had a natural flow when she wrote. Teri self-published her poetry books, A Piece Of Her Heart in 2020 and Moments Of Grief in 2021. Teri organizes and is the MC of Owl Poetry, a monthly open mic event at the Owl Acoustic Lounge in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. She also hosts Zoom open mic events, Poems From The Heart once a month. When she is not writing she swims in the rivers and lakes or hikes, explores and spends as much time in nature as she can.
