The voice behind the poems
Hi, I’m Valerie.
You can call me Val.
Poetry has been my passion since childhood, a way to explore and process the world.

A lifelong love of words
From the hills of Tennessee
to the skies of Montana.
Born and raised in Newport, Tennessee, I grew up surrounded by hills, fields, and endless sky.
After studying at the University of Tennessee, my husband and I moved to Billings, Montana. While working in education and raising a family, I continued writing, and now, with Poems About Everything, I’m sharing my work.
If you’re reading my poems, know some are polished while others are evolving. Feel free to share kind thoughts or feedback via val[at]poemsabouteverything.com.
Thank you for making a little room for poetry.
