Walking Away from the Sunsetby Julie Schwerin High/Coo Chapbook Award 2023 ISBN 978-1-929820-27-6 • perfectbound ~ ~ ~ Julie Schwerin was born Julie Lynn Foltz on June 24, 1969 in Dover, Ohio. She previously published poetry under the name Julie Warther. She is an American editor, haiku poet and artist. Author of What Was Here (Folded Word Press), she was the founder/facilitator of the Ohaio-ku Study Group and the Ohio Haiku Facebook Group, served five years as Midwest Regional Coordinator for the Haiku Society of America and was a Poet in Residence at The Studios of Key West in Key West, Florida in May 2012. Schwerin came to haiku while in the midst of cancer and grief journeys. Writing haiku allowed her to focus on the present moment with acceptance, wonder and appreciation. She was one of seventeen poets featured in A New Resonance 9 (Red Moon Press) and has co-edited, along with Jim Kacian, Echoes 2, A New Resonance 11, A New Resonance 12 and A New Resonance 13. Schwerin was instrumental in establishing several haiku installations in the Midwest including The Forest Haiku Walk at the Holmes County Open Air Art Museum in Millersburg, Ohio (2015-present), the Seasons of Haiku Trail at The Holden Arboretum in Kirtland, Ohio (2018-2019) and Words in Bloom: A Year of Haiku at the Chicago Botanic Garden (2020-2021) to feature the work of other poets and bring further awareness to haiku. Schwerin is an associate editor at The Heron's Nest and member of the Red Moon Anthology Editorial team. She has resided in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin since 2021. |
