I’ve been waiting to do this interview for a long time. Heather Harris Bergevin is a raw, insightful, and fearless poet. Her book Lawless Women, has delighted the poetry community. Her book has received 100 percent 5 star-reviews on Amazon. I loved reading them. “Like a box of chocolates Heather B’s collection of poems in Lawless Women is full of delicious nuggets to delight the reader with wit, wisdom, irony. Some poems you will find light and delightsome while others thought-provoking and truth confirming,” or “This book is a delight for any lover of poetry, mythology, the feminine divine, or anyone who craves words with breathtaking beauty and power. These poems evoke/reveal/create mythology past and present, lay a path for the future.”

One of my favorite reviews says exactly why I do these interviews – “The only thing better than to enter this realm of perspective and plot twists by reading is to hear Heather B. share these poems herself outloud. Enter a world familiar, end up somewhere surprising, not where you thought you were, insideout, upsidedown, kittycorner, sideways, lastfirst, everytime.” Today you get to hear Heather share her insights and read her poems outloud. Just click below.
