Carmen Calatayud: "...writing is a communion and communication with my ancestors, and the ancestors of the
land where I live and have lived. This communion comes through at times when I’m
alone writing. I use meditation, yoga, poetry and brainstorming with words that
appeal to me to help me connect with my own spirit and ancestral spirits as I
write."

Shara Lessley on Paula Bohince: "Bohince's poems are so familiar in their emotional register that as I pour over her lines, I almost feel as though I'd written them myself. It's quite eerie—in the most wonderful way. The first time I sat with "Everywhere I Went That Spring, I Was Alone," "Owl in Retrograde," and "Silverfish," I audibly gasped. Time and again, I am humbled by Bohince's powerful subtly, her gift for mining the natural world in such quiet, yet transformative ways."

I miss saguaros.

Hope you're having a wonderful time in Arizona. I'm sure the saguaros have been missing you too.
