Judith Partelow, Poet

Author Judith Partelow.

Inspired by her chapbook of the same name, in 2017, Judith Partelow wrote her first play, A Woman’s Heart, created entirely from her poetry. It was then produced six times to standing ovations on Cape Cod. Her play was taught as a course at Cape Cod Community College by Professor Rod Owens as part of the Academy of Lifelong Learning. Her next chapbook of poems, Carry Me Back, A Woman’s Life in Poetry contains some of the poems that appear in her play, among many new ones. Her latest book of poems is a comprehensive compilation that spans over 40 years of writing, Passion & Provocation, Selected Poems by Judith Partelow. She has been a featured poet on numerous occasions and has won several awards over the years. She is a founding member of the Scargo Hill Poets, and a board member of the Cape Cod Writers Center.

Partelow is an actress and director who has appeared in multiple theatrical productions, readings and films over the years. She has developed a play, thanks to a grant from the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, entitled NEIGHBORS! on the impact of racism in our community and society. It was written in collaboration with other writers of diverse backgrounds. It is available to be used by schools, churches and any other organizations wanting to stimulate discussion on this very difficult topic.

Partelow’s new book, Passion & Provocation, is an invitation to explore the many colors of Judith Partelow’s poetry; a tapestry of threads woven through tender longings and joyful celebrations of love, friendships, marriages, family bonds, the soul, and other themes of a life well lived. She is available for readings. Go to www.judithpartelow.com or write judithpartelow@gmail.com for information.
