Internationally-acclaimed poet April Eiler has been performing dramatic recitations and has been a highly sought after contributor to a host of poetry periodicals for at least 25 years. Prior to her career in poetry, she taught dance and led a dance company in Palo Alto, California. Knowledge of this early background in dance and rhythm is an important key to understanding and experiencing the rhythmic and metrical subtleties of her poetic style. Her dry wit makes her poetry a popular favorite at readings and performances wherever she is invited to perform.

Ms. Eiler's poems have appeared in many of the most innovative poetry periodicals in the English-speaking world, including Bellowing Ark, Black Bear Review, Blue Unicorn, The Comstock Review, Haight Ashbury Literary Journal, The Pittsburgh Quarterly, and Verve. This critically-acclaimed poet has published two books of her evocative poems which are adeptly illustrated by artist Sandra Beard. A substantial number of the poet's works have been selected for inclusion in a variety of anthologies of contemporary verse, most recently, Ionization, from Minotaur Press.
