| Anna Evans claims her poetry is autobiographical without being necessarily true.: The truth within poems lies in how they make the reader feel or experience things from a different perspective. Ultimately, everything comes down to the poetry. Anna Evans is a former President of the Burlington County Poets of New Jersey, and a member of the Quick and Dirty Poets. She is editor of The Barefoot Muse and The Raintown Review. She has just been accredited by the New Jersey Artists in Education program to work with Children in Grades K-8.
