Loralee Clark is a poet and artist who grew up learning a love for nature and her place in it, in Maine. Her first chapbook, Solemnity Rites (Prolific Pulse Press, 2025), is an account of reimagined myths and truths of who we are as humans and how we live our histories. Her second chapbook, Delighting in “To Be”: Poems for Writers (Bottlecap Press, 2025), is a celebration and introspection of the process of writing. Her third, A Harmony in the Key of Trees: A Healing Myth (Dancing Girl Press, 2025), examines how a child grows up unconsciously looking to her ecosystem to parent and nurture her. She resides in Virginia and was nominated for three 2026 Pushcart Prizes.
