signing and discussion with author, Judith Garrett Segura
What Life Is,
her collection of poetry, is a bold new product. It is the embodiment of more
than thirty years of thinking and writing about the nature of the human
experience. Autobiographical, both by design and necessity, it specifically
explores the nature of her experience in detail.
Poetry has the power to surprise us with knowledge,
even understanding, of ourselves. In the expression of the joys and
disappointments of a single life, the universality of human experience shines
within What Life Is.
Judith Garrett Segura is a writer and visual artist
who has dedicated her creative life to what she calls The Great Project, a
multidisciplinary effort to treat all things of the mind and the aesthetic
senses with perfect seriousness, to be true to one's own responses and
thoughts, and to be no one but oneself. She retired as president and trustee of
The Belo Foundation at the end of 2004, after a 24-year career at A. H. Belo
Corporation, publisher of The Dallas
Morning News. While at Belo, she also served as company historian, and she
was curator of the company’s 300-piece collection of art by Texas artists.
Her poetry was published in New Texas 93 by the Center for Texas Studies; one of her poems was
selected for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit “Poetry in Motion” project in 2001;
and she recorded one CD of her poetry titled “Ross & Pearl: Poems of Love
& Loss” in 2001. She published a collection of her poetry titled What Life Is in 2015, featuring one of
her paintings on the cover. Texas Monthly Press published her first non-fiction
book, The Reptiles and Amphibians of
Texas in 1987, and a second, Guide to
Dallas, in1992. In recent years, she
has contributed to Langdon Review of the
Arts in Texas with essays published in 2007, 2009 and 2018.
She has a Bachelor of Arts in English and Fine Arts
from Texas A&I, now Texas A&M University at Kingsville; a Master of
Arts in English and Art History from the University of North Texas; and a
Master of Fine Arts in painting and photography, also from the University of
North Texas School of Visual Arts.
