Carrie Wright-Christopher is a poet and the author of A Lucky Turn and Transformed: Poetry & Prose of a Changed Life. Her gift for writing, which she considers to be a grounding pastime and her favorite form of meditation, has led to an appreciation of the ability to see the big picture and to be inspired by the little things in life. She holds a master's degree in library science from Queens College and worked with children, teenagers, and adults as a public librarian for many years. Later, she earned a second master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Walden University, an undertaking she credits with playing an important role in the understanding of her own inner potential and the potential of others, particularly individuals with developmental disabilities. Aside from writing, her greatest joy is delighting in the rural countryside of her home in Upstate New York where she lives with her husband, her fellow traveler through life and other half, Dave Christopher.
