Wilmoth Foreman

Wilmoth Marshall Foreman grew up on a five-acre farm on the outskirts of Columbia, Tennessee, with a host of farm animals. One of them, a brown Jersey cow named Blackie, would as soon chase you as look at you. Wilmoth graduated from George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville. Off and on, she has taught high school English, GED, English as a Second Language, and continuing education writing courses at Columbia State Community College. She is on the Tennessee Arts Commission s roster as an "Artists in Education" teacher of writing. Since 8th grade, she has been a church organist. In 2002, Wilmoth got a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from Vermont College in Montpelier. It was during this program that Summer of the Skunks began to take shape. Wilmoth and her husband live in Columbia. They have three grown children, two cats, and one dog."
