FEATURE
Sierra DeMulder grew up in a tiny town in upstate New York. She first encountered slam poetry at 14 when she watched her father compete (a morbidly embarrassing experience for her). Sierra earned “Best Female Poet” …at the College Union Poetry Slam Invitational in 2009. Less than two months later, she was awarded a coveted publishing deal from Write Bloody Publishing, which lead to her first full-length book, “The Bones Below.” She was a member of the St. Paul Slam Team, which won the 2009 National Poetry Slam, ranked as 9th in the world at the 2009 Individual World Poetry Slam, and a finalist at the 2009 Women of the World Individual Poetry Slam. Outside of her competitions, Sierra coached the Macalaster College team at the 2010 CUPSI where they placed third in the nation. She also launched her own teaching initiative, in which she conducts weekly poetry classes geared towards aspiring poets of all ages in the Twin Cities community.
