By Aressa V. Williams
 The Write Women’s Book Fest Poet Laureate

Aressa Verdell Williams, a retired DC Public School teacher and a retired Assistant Professor of English at Anne Arundel Community College, is also a teacher consultant, creative writing presenter, and poet. Professor Aressa is an active member of Pen in Hand, Poetry X Hunger, and Poetry Nation. Equally important, the poet accepted the new role as a Literary Leader for the Prince Georges County Arts and Humanities Council.
 
In the sixth grade, the aspiring message-maker wrote her first book of poems to earn a Girl Scout badge for Creative Writing.  Today, Aressa has three self-published books, entitled Soft Shadows, The Penny Finder, and the most recent Pancakes & Chocolate Milk.  Her inspiring poems strike universal notes about family, friends, resilience, and hope.  Aressa believes that poems are word snapshots of our experiences. Moreover, she defines poetry as word music.
 
The word-weaver enjoys walking at School House Pond, journaling, and interpreting dreams.  Other interests are reading short stories, posing poll questions, and sky-watching.  A good day for Aressa includes morning meditation, afternoon tea, and if possible, a nap.  The poetess is the proud mother of Aaron Coley and grateful grandmother of Aressa Coley.
