Rachel Wright is a "never retired" educator. She lives in an intentional community in southern Indiana established by her father and friends in 1966. She was an active part of the founding of an alternative school which continues to this day. She was also a professor of education in a local community college for ten years. She has published in magazines and academic journals both in education and the study of intentional communities. As archivist and publisher of the community, she preserves and shares their history, stories and works. Her passions include family, midwifery, childcare, alternative education, and fostering creativity and originality in poetry and the arts. She bakes artisan bread (a sour dough advocate), makes wine, paints, writes poetry and humorous short stories and attends workshops in these areas. She has six children and is grandmother to an ever-expanding group of 15 plus. She is an active member of the Indiana Poetry Society since 2019 and is involved in other local art and poetry groups. She is available for workshops within her PoART enterprise and hopes to expand a platform for other poets around Indiana and elsewhere.
