Mindy Nettifee Oregon

Dr. Mindy Nettifee is a poet, professional teaching artist, and somatic trauma therapist. She is the author of three collections of poems: Sleepyhead Assassins, Rise of the Trust Fall, and Open Your Mouth Like a Bell, as well as a collection of how-to essays on writing poetry called Glitter In The Blood, which just went into its 10th straight year of printing on Write Bloody press. She competed in her first national poetry slam in Austin, Texas in 1998 at 19 years old, where her team had to sneak her into bars to perform.
