SPEAKER HOLLY PARSONS
Bio – Holly Parsons studied journalism at San Diego State University.  She subsequently held the position of sub-editor for the Fiji Sun and feature writer for 5 years. As Editorial Assistant she edited  “The Journal” at the University of the South Pacific; she also acted as founding editor of Prime Times Magazine. She is author of “Soul of a Woman A Poetic Journey in Love and Life” her poetry is published in the Arizona Centennial Poetry Anthology 2012.  She has been honored by the President of Ireland for her poem honoring the life of Deirdre O’Connell and her poetry graces the pages of numerous corporate and community websites.  www.Holly@HollyParsons.com
Talk – In the spring of 2010, a week of thoughtful contemplation produced the ultimate
question “what is mine to do?” The writing of 45 poems in 3 ½ days provided the
answer.  These free form poems formed the foundation for a hundred poems during the following 18 months; written in Haiku, Iambic and Greek meter.  A lifetime of inspiration informs women’s literary influence on community cultures and society at large.  When imagination blends with integrity of intention, provocative power rests at the core of our interpretive. This poet will explore female authors’ potential impact for personal and social transformation.
