Wyatt Townley's work has been read by Garrison Keillor on NPR, featured by Ted Kooser in his "American Life in Poetry" column, and published in journals ranging from The Paris Review to Newsweek. She has published five books, three of poems. Her poetry is grounded in the landscape of the body and in the wind, storms, and stars of the Midwest. In 2003, Wyatt was invited by the Kansas Arts Commission to help establish the state’s Poet Laureate program. She has taught in colleges and worked with Young Audiences and Writers in the Schools as a visiting author. Her life has been shaped by the confluence of poetry and poetry-in-motion. Formerly a dancer, Wyatt has taught yoga for over thirty years and is the founder of Yoganetics®, a therapeutic system that has spread to ten countries. HarperCollins published her book on the method, deemed an “Editor’s Choice” by Yoga Journal.
