Loretta Ross-Gotta

Loretta F. Ross stalks holiness. Her poetry, dramas, and essays are widely published. In Letters from the Holy Ground – Seeing God Where You Are (Sheed & Ward), Loretta, declares "we are all platforms for the dancing God."

A chapter from her forthcoming book, What Is Deep as Love Is Deep – a Memoir of a Praying Life, will be published in the Iowa regional literary journal, The Wapsipinicon Almanac this month. She has published Holy Ground, a quarterly reflection on the contemplative life for over 25 years.

A postmodern hermit mystic and caretaker of souls, Loretta lives with her black lab, Elijah the Tishbite. The two believe in dancing before breakfast and getting the giggles every day.
