Judyth Hill, poet, maestra, publisher, is the author of nine collections of poetry and the internationally acclaimed poem, Wage Peace.

Hill is Chair of the PEN International Women Writers Committee, Managing Editor of her publishing company, Wild Rising Press, Special Projects Director for the San Miguel Writers Conference, President of New Mexico Literary Arts, and an Anusara Yoga Special Subjects instructor.

Originator of the poetry process, WildWriting, Hill offers poetry and memoir workshops world-round and leads “Muse on the Move” WildWriting & Yoga epicurean workshops in Taos, San Miguel, Ireland, and Slovenia.

Hill is the recipient of grants from the Witter Bynner Poetry Foundation, McCune Foundation, and New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities. She authored poetry curriculum for the O’Keeffe and Folk Art Museums in Santa Fe, NM and served from 1994 to 2000 as Literary Projects Coordinator for New Mexico Arts, a division of the NM State Office of Cultural Affairs.

Hill stands in consonance with Rainer Maria Rilke: “To praise is the whole thing…” She offers writers the opportunity to explore the territory that breathes between this world and themselves, between heart and hand, pen and paper, and the skills to expand that territory.

Hill resides amid the aspen and ponderosa pine splendor of the Rockies, still home to black bears, mountain lions, and free-roaming elk herds, and the ancestral home and hunting territory of the Ute (Núuchiu), Arapaho (Hinono'ei), and Cheyenne (Tsistsistas) peoples.

She was described by the St. Helena Examiner as, "Energy with skin” and by the Denver Post as, “A tigress with a pen.”
