Her work—literally hundreds of articles, essays, and poems — has appeared in national and regional publications for decades.

details of the world around us and, in the process, captures what is
essential.” “Hanson’s poetry paints a wonderfully evocative view
of the places and people that have been such an integral part of her
life.” |
