Trier Ward is a mother, poet, and scientist.  Born in Germany, she grew up as an Air Force brat living around the world and now resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, since late 2015.  She performs at several open mics in the area including Voices of the Barrio.  Her interests include the arts, social activism, and wildlife rehabilitation.

What defines Trier’s poetry is not its lyricism or unique style, but a combination of both, which yields an incredible power to evoke bold imagery.  She knows the poetic rules and how to break them, moving freely between rhyming and free verse effortlessly, sometimes within the same poem. The beauty of the word is never forgotten, never lost behind layers of cleverness.  Each poem is a song unto its own, each syllable crafted to resonate perfectly.
