About

Carrie Heimer's poetry has appeared in such journals as The Comstock Review, Rock & Sling, Dappled Things, and Windhover. She believes literature can be a training ground for putting faith into action, spurring real compassion in the physical future. The impulse of her poems is to offer the dignity of recognition; she writes to say, "I see you, and you are valuable." Her teaching at West Valley High in Fairbanks, Alaska, does the same work. Her writing is available at poetryissalt.com.
