Laura Stott:“These are poems of travel and
travail, of losing one’s bearings but finding one’s way. In short, they
transform us—into crows and lizards, into sacred cows in a blue city, into
snakes or sea otters or sometimes stars. These poems invite and entice. Do not
lose your eyes, says one poem. Child, hold God in those hands, says another.
May we all grow so gently bold. May we all hold and keep
holding." —Lance Larsen
Laura Stott holds an M.F.A. from the
Inland Northwest Center for Writers (Eastern Washington University) and teaches
at Weber State University. Her poems have been published in various journals,

Jean Kane: Jean Kane was born in Brooklyn and was
taken to the midwest ten years later. She now lives in New York, where
she teaches literature and writing at Vassar College. She writes poetry,
fiction, and critical essays. American Short Fiction, the Georgia Review, Hotel
Amerika, and Prairie Schooner have published her work. Her current manuscript
