Diane Lee Moomey has lived and wandered around the US and Canada and now lives in Half Moon Bay, California, where she co-hosts a monthly poetry series, “Coastside Poetry”. A regular reader at Bay Area poetry venues, she has had work published in PoetryMagazine.com, Mezzo Cammin, PoeTalk, The Sand Hill Review, California Poetry Quarterly, Caesura and Red Wheelbarrow, and been nominated for a Pushcart prize. In 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2020, she won prizes and Honorable Mentions from the Ina Coolbrith Circle and the Soul Making Keats Literary Contests. Her newest poetry collection, Make For Higher Ground, is scheduled to be published later this year by Barefoot Muse Press.
Through Foothill College’s Community Based Program, Diane offers enrichment classes in Poetry Appreciation and Memoir/Storytelling.
Diane is also a watercolorist and collage artist, an experience that both seeds and is seeded by, her poetic imagery.
