Meet the Poet
Laura Traverse
Laura Traverse is a middle school teacher at a charter school in East Boston, MA. Living in Boston for almost three years, she takes to the woods on every available occasion, and she relies on poems to process the intricacies—dramatic and mundane alike—of her day to day life. She has written poetry since she was a child, but she has not published poems in any formal context, outside of her college literary journal. Thus, VerseWrights is her first publishing experience.
