Getting To Know Me

Julie Fisher believes in magical human beings and sacred places. In her bones, she knows poetry is the language of desire and transcendence. She cultivates communal experience in public spaces like poetry readings and quietly with words on pages.

Julie Fisher created  www.PoetryInBaltimore.com because Baltimore’s poetry scene is outstanding. She hosts 3rd Thursday Night PerVerse at Cyclops Books, Essential Sundays @ Minas’ Gallery and the B-More Erotic Performance Art Series. She cohosts Kids Got Poetry Writing Series with her daughter Sophie. She also supports and curates special events within the literary community.

Her poems have appeared most recently in Smile Hon, You’re In Baltimore, Baltimore Sun, Manorborn, Attic and World According to Goldfish Anthology.
