Sandra Widner Burch
It wasn't until 2003 that Sandra Widner Burch picked up a pen to write poetry. For
her, writing poetry was a means to release a whirlwind of emotions, immeasurable heartache,
and to shed light on the often misunderstood Battered Spouse Syndrome. In 2008, she entered
her poem "No More Fears" in a poetry contest where her poem won an Editor's Choice
Award for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry and was published in Collected Whispers. Her
poem "Sixteen Candles" advanced to the semi-final round of the National Amateur Poetry
Competition and was published in Sunflowers & Seashells. In October of 2010, Sandra was the
featured writer for River Writers Group. Other poems have been published in several print and
online publications, including The Torrid Journal, The Firehouse Journal, Best New Poems and
Patience & Grace, to name a few.
