Bonnie Larson Staiger is a North Dakota Associate Poet Laureate and a North Dakota Humanities Scholar. Her second book, In Plains Sight, follows close on the heels of her success with Manifest Destiny, winner of the 2018 Poetry of the Plains and Prairie Prize from North Dakota State University Press and recognized as Distinguished Favorite in the Category of Poetry for the 2019 Independent Press Award. She has also recently received awards from Flying South Literary Magazine and The MacGuffin's Best of the Year Anthology, and she was a finalist for the Julia Darling Poetry Prize and the Great Midwest Poetry Prize. Bonnie is immersed in the poetry world and focuses her writing on life in the plains in all of her work. She has held multiple officer leadership positions in North Dakota and national societies, and she is the founding president of the North Dakota State Poetry Society--a chapter of a national federation that publishes and promotes poetry and hosts festivals and writing workshops. Bonnie lives in Bismarck, North Dakota, and often writes of the poignant subtleties of life on the northern plains of the American West as well as a world view observed from and shaped by that place.
