about.
Andrea Witzke Slot is a London-based poet and fiction writer.
After teaching for many years (primary school in the UK, then at Collin College in Texas and at the University of Illinois at Chicago after earning her PhD), Andrea now lives in London where she is a contributing artist with Fiona Lesley's Poetry Exchange and works daily to capture the unexpected beauty of humanity and nature in words, paints, piano and photography.
Her awards include Able Muse and Fiction International's fiction prizes, while over a dozen of her poems, short stories, and flash fiction pieces have placed in competitions in both the US and the UK.
Her publications include To find a new beauty (Gold Wake Press 2012), a poetry collection inspired by H.D.'s Sea Garden poems.
Her second poetry collection, The Ministry of Flowers, explores how flowers, both real and metaphorical, can provide their own kind of ministry, offering hope and inspiring kindness in our pandemic-changed world.
Forthcoming from Valley Press in November 2020.
