Poet's Classroom
In July 2008 Violet Nesdoly signed on as Utmost Christian Writers' first regular paid monthly columnist.
In addition to being a former International Christian Poet Laureate, Violet is a well respected writer, poet and critiquer of poetry. She brings her experience and ideas about poetry to us in the usual easy-to-grasp style that Utmost provides.
On the first day of each month, we post Violet's new column, available exclusively here at Utmost Christian Writers.
