Terry Loncaric, who lives in Hampshire, Ill., has distinguished herself in many creative fields -- as a newspaper reporter, an award-winning entertainment writer, a newspaper editor, and a high school educator and college lecturer.
As an educator, she helped students at Hoffman Estates High School in the Chicago Suburbs overcome learning disabilities and achieve milestones in their writing skills. She launched Poetry Power, a unique live poetry event that showcased student and teacher poets.
She lectured on feature writing at Roosevelt University and Columbia College in Chicago, often drawing upon her experiences in newsrooms, to teach students the fundamentals of clear, concise writing.
Loncaric is the author of a chapbook, Crashing in Velvet for Finishing Line Press, and Poetry in an Age of Panic, a full-length collection of poetry for Kelsay Books. Her current book, Poems from a Restless Traveler, features memorable travel narratives presented as engaging poems.
Loncaric’s careers in writing, editing, and education inspire and infuse the richness and depth in her poetry, which one critic described as “poignant reflections of life as experienced by a journalist, a poet, a seeker of meaning in the everyday.”
Loncaric’s poems, published in magazines, books, anthologies, and newspapers, have been lauded for their humanity, her narrative flair, and her lyrical use of language. The author believes, in these troubled times, it is essential to share poetry. She has a degree in journalism from Indiana University.
