Profile Information

About Me (optional):
Rebecca Winning was born in Springfield, Illinois in 1952 and grew up in the Midwest. As a teenager, she self-published two books of poetry, In Fields of Gentle Clover (1969) and In Late Morning (1972). She received a BA in English from DePauw University in 1974, attended creative writing classes at Sangamon State University, and received an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Denver in 1979. Her first chapbook, A Cure for Backache and Other Poems was published in the Sangamon Poets series in 1977; a second chapbook, A Marriage Pact and Other Poems was published by Moonsquilt Press in 1983. In 1984, she was selected to participate in the Artists in Education Program, sponsored by the Illinois Council on the Arts and Humanities. Her work, including poetry and short stories, has also appeared in a number of literary journals.
Her awards include:
· First Place, Westword Fiction Contest, 1986
· Artists in Education Program, Colorado Council on the Arts and Humanities, 1984
· Second Place, Ann Woodbury Hafen Poetry Competition, Poetry Society of Colorado, 1983
· Honorable Mention, First Annual Poetry Competition, Indiana College English Association, 1974
· First Place, Philomachian Literary Society Award, 1970
From the mid-80s to 2010, she led Investor Relations for large public companies; for the last ten years of her career, she did Community Engagement and Strategy work for Jefferson County Public Library. Now retired, she is an avid gardener and backyard birder and is delighted to be able to devote more time to her writing. Her latest book, Lullaby of Love: Selected Poems, published by Victor Pearn and Associates, Inc. (2025), is evidence of that.
Rebecca lives in Littleton, Colorado with her husband Jack, with whom she shares two grown daughters, Shelli and Melissa, a son-in-law, Scott, and four grandchildren, Matthew, Archer, Holland and Walker. Learn more at RebeccaWinningWriter.wordpress.com.
