Cover Art – Rene Lynch’s Secret Life of the Forest "A Different Sleep"
News! The official cover art for “She Returns to the Floating World,” my new book forthcoming from Kitsune Books in late 2011, has been chosen. It is from Rene Lynch’s series, “Secret Life of the Forest,” and this painting is titled “A Different Sleep.”
Thanks so much to Rene Lynch, one of my very favorite super-talented artists, for her gracious permission to use this amazing image. I encourage you all to visit her web site and see more of her work. I actually wrote a poem after seeing her exhibit in San Francisco for the first time called “Secret Life of the Forest.” She’s very inspiring!

Her latest, Flare, Corona from BOA Editions, was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. She’s also the author of PR for Poets, a Guidebook to Publicity and Marketing.
