Biography

Teri Dourmashkin writes poetry that speaks straight to the heart. Her work explores what it means to be human, the laughter, the grief, the quiet moments of doubt, and the deep connections that carry us through. With over a dozen books published, her words have become a companion for readers who long to feel seen, understood, and uplifted. Beyond her life as a poet, Teri holds a Doctorate in Health Education from Columbia University, a background that deepens her awareness of the human spirit and its capacity to heal. She has a gift for translating raw emotion into verse, capturing life’s most tender truths in ways that linger long after the page is turned. For Teri, poetry is more than art; it’s an act of love. She believes love is the strongest force in the universe, greater than fear and stronger than hate, and through her writing she invites others to experience that power. Her poems remind us that even in the midst of sorrow, love can guide us back to hope.
