There is nothing
in the world more devastating
to a parent than to have a prodigal child. |

Pell City, Alabama's culture
became richer when Rita Moritz moved here nine years ago from
Virginia. As well as bringing her love of poetry and writing
with her, she also brought fresh ideas to the artists and poets
of Alabama. The only thing she loves more than the Arts is
bringing hope and encouragement to hurting people. She does that
both through her speaking and her writing.
|
Writing is not new to Rita,
who says she has been writing since she was a child and
discovered you could put a few words together and make people
learn, feel, and discover things. Her writing credits include
"The Grapevine," a Christian quarterly, the "Greenville
Sentinel," and "Educational
Leadership Journal."
Prior to her retirement, Rita taught English and Business at a
Christian school and worked for ASCD, an educational association
in Northern Virginia.
|
Rita’s poetry has appeared in
various publications, and she has brought a "Day of Poetry" to
schools both in Virginia and Alabama. She has participated in
"Poets and Painters," which is a collaborative effort of artists
and poets in Virginia. She is in the process of doing the same
thing here in Alabama. In April of 2012 she was a featured poet
at "A
Night of Poetry" in
Pell City, which was sponsored by Writers Anonymous and the Pell
City Public Library.
She has also appeared as a featured poet on the Virginia Cable
Channel 10 television production "Poetic Expressions." She is a
member of the Alabama
State Poetry Society.
Retirement hasn’t slowed Rita down, and, among her other
accomplishments, she is the founder of Writers
Anonymous, a poetry
group that meets monthly to share their poetry and both
challenge and encourage other poets. Rita's first poetry book "Precious
Poems: A Journey of Hope," published in July, 2013.
|
| In 1993, Rita’s article "Tough
Love for Kids at Risk"
appeared in "Educational
Leadership Journal."
Since that time she has continued to be involved with and
concerned about families that are hurting. Rita is an instructor
in the North Alabama Court Referral Services, Inc. She also
mentors and encourages women from a half-way house. She has
continued to write poetry and other things and is currently
working on a non-fiction book entitled "Precious Prodigal "
and is posting to a Blog by
that same name. She also speaks at churches and other
organizations and institutions on a variety of subjects. |
