Becca J.R. Lachman's Fundraiser

Help me make a difference, one poem at a time!
Your donation keeps me writing (& hopefully encouraging more voices to tell their stories)! We are not alone, we are connected, and we need poetry. Help me sing these big truths into the world!
Becca J.R. Lachman works in the magical land of public libraries and is also a lyricist and singer-songwriter. Her forthcoming 3rd collection of poems What I say to this house is a collaboration with German artist Astrid Kaemmerling on home-building for women, making our own creation myths, and resiliency through chronic illness. Becca's previous poetry collections are The Apple Speaks (Cascadia Publishing House) and Other Acreage (Gold Wake Press). In 2013, she edited A Ritual to Read Together, a national anthology to mark the centennial of the late poet and conscientious objector William Stafford that included new work by poets such as Robert Bly and Molly Peacock. Her most recent poems have been recognized by a 2020 Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award and a Pushcart Prize nomination and can be found in places like Connotation Press, Sweet: Lit, Consequence Magazine, and Image Journal.
