These Walks: Poems

After 5 years of writing short poems on WDC, I decided to put together a collection of my favorites, and had them printed up for friends and family. Blurb did a great job with the printing (as always), and I'm happy with how they turned out. A big thanks to my husband, Brad (www.bradwallaceimaging.com) for the cover and layout design.

Thesis Defense and Graduation

After a 4 year summer program at the Sewanee School of Letters, I've finally completed my M.A, well almost.  I defend my thesis, ("Caged Eagles, Songsters, and Carrion-seekers: Birds in Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Bleak House") tomorrow, and my graduation is on Mother's Day. Every summer at Sewanee was amazing, so much so that I've decided to return for an MFA in creative writing. So, I graduate in May, and start back less than a month later. School is never over!
