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.

She enjoys bringing writers together and has been sponsoring open mics and readings on Zoom during the pandemic.
