Fall for the Book 2019

From Electronic Literature to print, Stephanie Strickland is no stranger to writing poetry across platforms.

She examines grief through a lens Dan Beachy-Quick describes as “how history hides histories;” these are the histories of mythic, historic, and mystic women. Poet Karen Leona Anderson says, “The arrangement is illuminating and dimensional, a great accomplishment, a continuous unfolding, a revelation that won’t end.”
