Dressler began writing poems as a child, after hearing her mother recite poetry while working in the family's fields. Her first published poem, 'Appalachia,' appeared in 1969 and she later published two collections of poetry, Appalachia, My Land in 1973 and Appalachia in 1977, both by Morris Harvey College Publications. Her poems are also included in many edited anthologies of Appalachian poetry. Dressler was awarded an honorary degree from Morris Harvey College in Charleston, West Virginia, (now the University of Charleston) and the Appalachian Gold Medallion, and was also one of three Resident Poets of the West Virginia Department of Education. Dressler wrote passionately about Appalachian identity and mountain culture, and she lectured and performed dramatic readings of her poems at numerous events throughout the Appalachian Region.","Muriel Dressler married Lester Dressler, who worked primarily for CSX Railroad.
