Well, I reckon ya might be wonderin’ who this Ruth Schwartz gal is, huh? Now, let me tell ya, she ain’t no ordinary person. She was born back in 1962, up in Geneva, New York. That’s way up north, where it’s colder than a frog’s backside in winter. Anyway, Ruth, she’s a poet, a memoir writer, and a teacher, so she’s done a fair bit in her life. Not just sittin’ around, no sir!
Now, this lady, she ain’t just got one book out there. Nope. She’s written a few. Her most recent poetry collection is called Miraculum, and it came out in 2012 from a press called Autumn House. Sounds like somethin’ out of a dream, don’t it? It sure does to me. She also got a book called Soul on Earth: A Guide to Living and Loving Your Human Life. That one’s about how folks can live better and love better, I reckon. She sure knows her stuff, or at least, she’s been learnin’ it and passin’ it on for years.
Ya know, Ruth’s poems ain’t just stuck in some dusty drawer somewhere either. No ma’am! Her words have been picked up and put into a few fancy books like The World in Us: Lesbian and Gay Poetry of the Next Wave, and American Poetry: Next Generation. So, people are readin’ her work all over. Ain’t that somethin’?
But Ruth, she ain’t just a poet. She’s also a teacher. She’s been teachin’ folks about poetry and the art of writin’ for a long time. You know how some folks just know how to explain things in a way that makes you feel like, “Oh, that makes sense!”? Well, Ruth’s one of those folks. She takes somethin’ complicated and makes it seem easy, just like how a good cook makes a meal look simple even though it’s all special and tasty.
So, she’s out there teachin’, writin’, and usin’ her words to help people understand themselves and the world a bit better. Ain’t that a mighty fine way to live, eh? Helpin’ others with your words and your wisdom.
If you’re ever feelin’ like you need a little guidance in life or just want some good poetry to make you think, you might wanna check out Ruth’s books. They sure won’t steer ya wrong. And who knows, maybe her words will get ya thinkin’ a little deeper about the world around ya and how you can live a bit more like your true self.
