I started this web site in 2001. A lot has changed in that time, and yet I'm still here writing. I might not write as often as I'd like to, but I do still write from time to time.
Sometime in 1979, Renate was born in Tennessee. She was born way out in the middle of nowhere, and heard that students watched her birth from the window. She's been hiding from people ever since.
Renate comes from a family of progressive-thinking hippies, who were into organic food before organic food was cool. She was told once that she was born in the wrong decade. Apparently, she's more suited to grow up in the 60s. It might be because of all of the tie-dye.
Renate lives in Oklahoma, with her husband John and their two girls. She's lucky enough to stay home with her girls and plans to do so throughout their childhood.
Renate is always in a state of growth. She spends her time learning new things, in particular anything computer-related.
You can contact Renate by e-mail at renate @ poetryuprising . com She's always happy to hear from new people as well as those who she knows currently or has known in the past. Feel free to get in touch with.
If you're interested in collaborating on writing projects, drop her an e-mail.
