Helen Almaraz (helenalmaraz)

I am a new poet who has been writing and sharing my poems with friends in the sheltered environment of Facebook for four or five years, developing my voice. I have been living in Los Angeles with my husband, David, for most of my adult life. I earned my BFA from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia as a visual artist, but many years later I discovered my true passion, poetry. I have been a volunteer, a waitress, a salesperson, a portrait painter and a teacher. All my experiences inform my poetry.
