Enriching people across the United States, Mirriam-Goldberg uses workshops, retreats, and readings to broaden different communities' ideals about spoken, written, and sung word.
Currently, she lives south of Lawrence, Kansas with her husband Ken Lassman, a regional writer, and their three children.
Through the Kansas Arts Commission, Mirriam-Goldberg is offering a series of programs, including workshops, lectures, and readings.
Her workshops are for people living with cancer and other serious illness, for low-income women, and for adults in transition.
Mirriam-Goldberg is much like other female poets who speak about womanhood and experiences in life that have reflected her hardships with having cancer.
