Barbara Harris Leonhard started writing at age 8 and was first published in college. Now that she has retired from teaching ESL, she has more time to devote to writing. Her work appears online on Spillwords, Anti-Heroin Chic, among others. This year Barbara earned both third place and honorary mention for two poems in Well Versed 2021. She is currently marketing her first poetry collection about her relationship with her mother, who suffered from Alzheimer’s. From that memoir collection, her poem “Cooking a Life with a Wire Spine”, was nominated for Publication of the Month on Spillwords in August 2021. This year Barbara was also featured in an interview for Spotlight on Writers on Spillwords. She enjoys bringing writers together and has been sponsoring open mics and readings on Zoom during the pandemic.
