Beverly Burnette enjoys the
challenge of taking intimidating poetry and bringing it into the
realm of “everyday life.” She uses poetry and storytelling as
vehicles for teaching history, exposing positive feelings, healing
wounds, and bridging gaps. Born in Rocky Mount, NC, Burnette is an
alumna of Livingstone College. She has done freelance writing for a
local children’s television program and has edited a weekly advice
column entitled “Ask Miz Bee.” Published in several poetry
anthologies, Burnette is a founding member of both the Carolina
African American Writers’ Collective and the N.C. Association of
Black Storytellers, Inc., an organization for which she now serves
as president. She combines her social work skills with her creative
interests by facilitating diversity training and parenting skills
using writing journals and other forms of self-expression.
