FREE and open to the public, the Gaithersburg event started in 2010. According to organizers, the festival is "one of the nation’s top literary events, attracting hundreds of award-winning and best-selling authors, poets and songwriters from across the country to its beautiful park setting."

As part of a panel presentation regarding poems centered on themes of family, Stice will present selections from her award-winning 2021 poetry collection FORCES. A description from the book's publisher reads:

"Inspired by great works of visual art, writing, and sculpture, as well as small insights alongside her child and dog, a seasoned poet and spouse of a U.S. Marine explores through poetry the invisible forces and frictions at work in our lives."

Stice is the author of previous poetry collections Uniform (Aldrich Press, 2016), Permanent Change of Station (Middle West Press, 2018), and the poetry chapbook Desert (Prolific Press, 2018). Her work appears in print and on-line journals worldwide. She is a poetry editor for Inklette Magazine and volunteers with various other writing organizations.
