Virginia Schultz is a Poetry Expansionist, Planner, Minder of Resolve, Ideator, Systems Thinker, and grateful Breather of Air living within strawbale walls on the lower north side of Gold Hill, CO. Virginia, along with the late Kathryn Singey and Jack Collom, co-founded Word By Word Journeys, where they facilitated professional development for K-12 teachers using poetry as a learning and assessment tool across subject matter. Virginia’s current project is SnAckS iN SPaCe, a collaborative FB effects and poetry dialogue with visual artist Coco Gordon.

Virginia is intrigued by the mycorrhizal network, the breathing of trees, the colors and sounds of Nature, and the many forms of water. She enjoys exploring the wiggle-ness of the world in bits and bites, chewed on and filtered into poems using words both common and imagined, and often wonders how we have forgotten our connection to all beings; what it will take to remember. Birdsong is the soundtrack to Virginia’s life.
