Ann Boyles, who retired from teaching at DBU in 2020, needs the help of anyone who likes faith-based historical fiction. She self-published three stories in her Dragonfly Trilogy. Now a publishing company is interested in her fourth novel, which revolves around three main characters marooned on a desert isle in 1862. Congratulations Ann! The company has asked her to resubmit her manuscript after tweaking it and increasing her email list of people interested in receiving updates about the story and its background. She plans to send out brief newsletters four or five times in the next twelve months, so the number of emails won’t be too numerous. If you’d like to receive her newsletters, let her know by emailing her at [email protected], and she will add you to her list. (The program actually sending out her emails is Mailer Lite. Your name and email address will not be shared, and there are no strings attached.) She’d really appreciate our help.

Below is a link to her bio page on Amazon where you can learn a little more about her as well as the Dragonfly Trilogy. They are worth the read!

Spring 2022 writing workshop dates!

Congratulations, Sara! Yay!

We are pleased to announce ‘in knots: poetry in word and thread,’ an exhibition featuring new works by poet and embroidery artist Sara Triana () will open Friday, December 2- Sunday, January 8.

Mark your calendars for the Opening Reception + Artist Conversation featuring Sara Triana + Lanecia Rouse Tinsley on Friday, Dec. 2 (6-8pm).

Some words about the show from Sara, “Words have always helped me untangle my day-to-day alongside larger questions and world events. When writing is inaccessible, I lean into embroidery. My work can be a knot of images and emotions. I hope that this collection will complicate ideas of parenthood which is romanticized in this season and oversimplified and undervalued in others….”

Sara Triana’s work explores themes of doubt/hope, parenthood, the climate crisis, embodiment, and the natural world. She is the author of two children’s books, Love Love Bakery and Every Day is Making Day, and a poetry chapbook, Poppy Seeds, which has also been released as a spoken word album on Spotify. Her first full collection of poems, Spread Thick, was released by Finishing Line Press in September 2022. Her work has been published online and in print. Sara, her partner Mitch, and their three children are an unschooling family who spent half of 2022 traveling through 34 states. Sara’s books and links to other work can be found at saratrianamitchell.com.
Sara was a member of the 2019 Artists’ Collective.
