Writers, though they may work alone, are grateful for the circles of people who help and support our work as it moves out into the world. I want to thank the writers who, some while on vacation, took the time to read and review Animals / Bodies over the summer: Pattiann Rogers, Christopher Cokinos, Sy Montgomery, and Maribeth Fischer.

I also want to thank Finishing Line Press for taking me into their nest of poets, when I am an essayist, by nature. Not sure how to fledge yet . . . but looking forward to it all as the chapbook takes flight through readings and events to come in 2015. Very excited about reading at Politics & Prose in February and at the Writer’s Center in March. Look for these and other events on the Events page as dates near.

Last but certainly not least, a huge hug to all those who pre-ordered Animals / Bodies from Finishing Line Press. Publishing and bookselling have changed–and small publishers need the support and enthusiasm of readers to keep alive a certain literary world.

Autumn is my favorite season. Leaves are falling (here where I am) and sunlight slanting over my horse fields in the evening looks like gold pouring from the sky, from the heavens, from any of your angels.

Always, Lisa
