In Hubble’s Shadow - "There’s a Tree by the Side of the Road on the way to town that stands leafless in spring. Leaning as if tempered by wind, its starkness giving chill in the gold of dandelions. In rain it turns darker, branches more strained to sky. On some days it encourages survival— others, a cautionary tale." |
Poetry | Adult | Brunswick,Maine: Shanti Arts Publishing | 2017 |
|
Interweavings: Creative Nonfiction - "Spring is the season that brings Midwesterners the most anticipation: the brown to green, the burst of delicate pink and white blossoms on fruit trees, the low dare devil swooping of nesting birds while driving—a welcoming confirmation that we made it through. Even dandelions delight our eyes, scattered replicas of the Sun. The first grass mowing. A celebration as new leaves cover bare limbs to make changing patterns of shade. We open the car windows driving past lilacs." |

Library Partnerships With Writers and Poets: Case Studies
- with Vera Gubnitskaia Libraries and writers have always had a close working relationship. Rapid advances in technology have not changed the nontechnical basis of that cooperation: author talks, book signings and readings are as popular as ever, as are workshops and festivals. This collection of 29 new essays from nearly 50 contributors from across the United States presents a variety of projects, programs and services to help librarians establish relationships with the literary world, promote literature to the public and foster creativity in their communities. |
