Leslie Ullman is the author of six poetry collections, most recently Little Soul and the Selves, and a hybrid collection of craft essays, writing exercises and poems titled Library of Small Happiness. A new collection based on Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies, titled Unruly Tree, will be published in 2024 by University of New Mexico Press. Professor Emerita at U.T.-El Paso where she taught for 27 years, she remains a faculty member in the low-residency MFA program at Vermont College of the Fine Arts.

DALE M KUSHNER is a novelist, poet, and essayist driven to understand what makes us human. What are the raw and tender stories that shape our lives? Her work wrestles with the “twin spectaculars” of love and loss. Her work draws on the writings of Carl Jung, myths, fairy tales, Buddhist practice, neuroscience, epigenetics, the hidden life of plants and animals, mystery, and magic.
