Magdalena Montagne

Magdalena Montagne has been leading poetry writing workshops for almost 20 years, most recently in conjunction with libraries in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara Counties. Since 2012 she has produced and hosted the Poets’ Circle Poetry Reading Series at the Watsonville Public Library.

Prior to the pandemic, Magdalena was facilitating poetry writing workshops for seniors in assisted living facilities in Santa Cruz, Monterey and Santa Clara Counties through her WisdomVerse program and she has been a guest workshop facilitator for several Santa Cruz County area non-profits.

In 2018, she became a Poetry Partner with the Institute for Poetic Medicine to help continue and expand this work.

Magdalena’s first book of poetry, Earth, My Witness was published by Finishing Line Press in 2019.
