Lina’s poetry inspires us to read her words aloud, vibrantly celebrating beauty in the world we love, by tasting her delicious words as they roll off our tongues, luring us into images that brilliantly flash before our eyes, and observing details we might not otherwise see.  Lina’s poetry is open, warm, welcoming, and thoughtful, recognizing the ongoing cycle of life, like the rhythm of the sea.

–Kathy Enger, Executive Director Northern Lights Library Network

 

From rural Minnesota, coastal Florida, ancestral Slovenia, and flights of fancy, Lina Belar observes. Her poetic voice lives at the crossroads of the natural world and human experience. Readers will enjoy a deep dive into Belar’s worlds.

–Sonja Kosler

 

“Lyrical and wise, Lina Belar’s insights sing.”

–Elisa Korenne, singer-songwriter and author of Hundred Miles to Nowhere: An Unlikely Love Story.

Lina Belar‘s poetry blends her love for nature and all its creatures, including the human ones, with a foolish love of language.  She has been featured in Talking Stick, Lake Region Review, and Northern Lights Library Network’s Poets Across Minnesota. In 2017, Lina received the first prize poetry award at the Brainerd Writer’s Alliance Festival and she published her first chapbook, Rural Score.  She is a fiscal year 2021 recipient of a Creative Support for Individuals grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.

During the Covid pandemic she spent much time promoting the poetry of others including the regional collections Poems of Hope and Reassurance and More Poems of Hope and Reassurance and the publications of the Wadena County Historical Society’s Minnesota Voices.  A resident of Minnesota since 1974, she has written regular newspaper columns in which she displays her genuine affection for local history.  Lina lives in the rural community of Wadena, Minnesota where she is working on her third chapbook.
