Mittie Roger
Occupation: Writer/Author
Nationality: American
Her Story: Mittie Babette Roger is a native Louisianan, born and raised in Baton Rouge. After earning her B.A. at L.S.U., she set out for the sunny mountains of Boulder Colorado where she received her M.F.A. from Naropa University in Creative Writing. Mountains have been a theme, along with international travel, that led her to the UNESCO World Heritage site, San Miguel de Allende in Guanajuato, Mexico, 6,300 feet up in the Sierra Madre mountains where she currently resides. Now bilingual, and certainly a Mexican at heart, she teaches fifth and sixth grade at Naciones Unidas and has just finished her first novel, It’s Better to Visit the Shaman Without Questions to Ask. She has published poetry in We #19, Fact-Similie, Species Howler Monkey edition, and a two-part non-fiction series in Monkey Puzzle Magazine calledNotes from a Modern Day Ex-Patriot(#5 and #6.) Her travels have taken her to the jungles of Ghana, the lakes of Bolivia, the rainy knolls of Romania, the beaches of Greece, the castles of France, the mountains of Peru and throughout the coat of many colors, otherwise known as Mexico. A traveler to the core, she agrees with Robert Pirsig’s quote, “I’m happy to be here, but still a little sad to be here too. Sometimes it’s better to travel than to arrive.”
