Arianne True
Youth Poet Laureate Mentor
Arianne True (Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations) is a poet, teacher, and excitable human from right here in Seattle. Arianne has more than a decade of experience working with youth of all ages, and has taught and performed everywhere from the temperate rainforest canopy to under Seattle’s streets; from the intertidal zone to the deck of a tall ship. Arianne is a proud alum of Hedgebrook and of the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts.
