News Flash! Interview in 507 Magazine Posted Today

Tim took this photo of me today as I was thinking about next week.

I will be spending the next few days thinking about what to share on Monday evening at the Northfield Public Library, but today I would like to share an interview that reporter Anne Murphy did with me. It came out today in 507 Magazinethe arts publication of the PostBulletin, Rochester, Minnesota’s award-winning newspaper.

Wishing you all a happy weekend in your own corner of the world! Leslie

Postcard: Mother’s Day, 2018

I saw this lady cardinal yesterday from my kitchen window. She was gathering straw for her new nest. Tim and I plan to be in the garden today, planting flowers and vegetables in a sunny new bed that Tim cannily prepared in our mostly shady garden. If all goes well, we’ll have an abundance of kale and cherry tomatoes before too long!

Wishing you a happy day!  Leslie

Reading from My Book, CLOUD SONG, on May 21, 2018 at the Northfield Public Library


I am thrilled to be reading from my new collection of poems, Cloud Song, on May 21, 2018, at 7:00 p.m. at the Northfield Public Library. If you can make it, I would love to see you there!

And for those of you who have looked into the collection already, I’d welcome your ideas:  which poem is the one you’d most want to hear if you could be there?

Wishing you a month filled with flowers, sun, (occasional rain), bird song, but no more snow!
