Nancy S. Bourdon

Bourdon is a poet, writer and human rights advocate. From her early years and as a Montessori alumnus, she developed her creativity and innate ability to write and convey powerful messages through poetry. Her style, at times provocative, yet idiosyncratic, is a blend of romantic prose and social commentary.

With an immense intellectual curiosity, she dedicated her life to the humanities. Her undergraduate studies in psychology contributed to her deeper sensibilities and understanding of humanity's tragedies and struggles. Her post-graduate degrees in different fields from education, community development, human rights and linguistics, have provided this talented poet with all the adequate tools and knowledge to be able to express herself with a certain authority in a world that often needs a dose of introspection.

Her collection of poems is rich and varied, lover of free verse and spontaneity. Her experience with global socio-political dynamics as well as Latin-American socio-economic development issues has been a fundamental element in her work, adding a bit of much needed irreverence and a strong voice amidst the myriad injustices and abuses occurring throughout the world.

Bourdon was a guest speaker at the French senate where she spoke about human rights and education. She also presented her latest book at the Maison de l'Amérique Latine, in Paris, where her poems about immigrants and refugees moved the audience to tears. She has also been a conference speaker on matters pertaining education, human development, and diversity. Her following book promises her trademark delivery and controversial, but discerning tenor, which, according to her, are crucial in an indifferent world where sometimes we ignore the potential and value of the human factor.
