Introduction	I am a mother, a poet, a potter, a gardener, a crafter, and a children's literature scholar. I used to keep a blog about mothering, nature, and the creative domestic life, but now I just have a simple Web site that shares my published writing. I live in a hollow of the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia with my daughter, husband, two cats, and a family of phoebes that builds a nest on our house each spring.
