A special thanks to everyone who came to support me: my husband, my best friend and her son, Emily, Chris, Lane + Angie, Mike, Amanda, Colleen, Eireann, ZCLC, David + Michelle, Jenny, Hannah, and others. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And Greg, thank you for asking me. I so admire your work.

More photos here.

Wicked Alice has published my poem "Beekeeping" for its winter '09 issue. This is a persona poem adapted from a friend's experiences; I have a few other entomological poems inspired by this woman I admire so much.
