Phyllis Cole-Dai

Phyllis Cole-Dai began pecking away on an old manual typewriter in childhood and never stopped. She has authored or edited 10 books in multiple genres, “writing across what divides us.”

Her latest book is "For the Sake of One We Love and Are Losing: A Meditative Poem & Journal". Other recent titles include "Beneath the Same Stars: A Novel of the 1862 U.S.-Dakota War" and "Poetry of Presence: An Anthology of Mindfulness Poems" (with Ruby Wilson).

Originally from Ohio, she now resides with her scientist-husband, teenage son, and two cats in a 130-year-old house in Brookings, SD.

Phyllis is a panelist on "Writing a Story Set in the Past" @ 1:30 pm. For more information and to REGISTER, see the program schedule.
