Rebecca Elegant is a poet and educator whose work celebrates language, empathy, and the quiet moments that shape everyday life. She teaches creative writing and journalism at a high school in Marin County, California, where she encourages young writers to find their voices and tell their stories with honesty and heart. Rebecca has published two collections of poetry that explore family, identity, and the intersections of art and emotion, and she is currently at work on her third. Her writing reflects the same curiosity and compassion she brings to the classroom—an invitation to look closer, listen deeper, and discover meaning in the ordinary. When she isn’t writing or teaching, Rebecca enjoys life in Marin with her husband, three children, and their dog Louie. Her website, rebeccaelegant.com, offers a glimpse into her creative world, including poems, reflections on teaching, and updates on her upcoming projects.
