Her world has broadened since then and her respect for the laws of physics has come through experience, such as falling off flesh-and-blood horses.In college, she studied journalism in the days when students used contraptions called typewriters.Among her published work are several poems, appearing in small press periodicals. She has a self-published chapbook of poetry, Sotto Voce, and a self-published short story, Always Coming Home in which no one falls off a horse. She edited her mother’s memoires of immigration to the U.S. as teenager. A budding Esperantist, (saluton, nekonataj amikoj!), she is also currently working a retelling of the Sigurd/Siegfried myths, titled Siegfried Dragon Slayer.ver menos
