My name is Anna J. Boll, and I write and illustrate for children. I’m pleased to have poems published in these high quality magazines!

Illustrations L to R: Dec 2003, Ann Strugnell; Jul/Aug 2010, Brita Granstrom; Aug 2007, Emilie Boon; Jun 2011,Dan Andreasen.
I am also a veteran educator as comfortable with teaching K-12 as I am with teaching adults. I love to do programs about poetry, the picture book, creative writing, research, and the creative process.
I grew up in Washington, DC and live in Maine with my children, my husband and my fur-daughter, Lucy.
This is where I do most of my work…
…but I get a lot of my ideas when I’m having fun outside– at a baseball game in the summer, hiking in the fall, or skiing in the winter.
In addition to the triathlon of life (writing, teaching & mothering) I’m also a sprint triathlete. Swimming and biking are my favorite parts of the event.

Thanks so much for visiting.
