Springfed Chapbook #63: Jane Kretschmann.

I just received notification that FootHills Publishing has released Springfed Chapbook #63, Imagining a Life by Jane K. Kretschmann.

Jane’s work, and photos of her cats, have appeared several times on these pages (here and here, for example).

Here is the bio from the publication announcement:

Jane K. Kretschmann, a native of Alabama, lives in Piqua, Ohio, where she teaches at a community college. In addition to the publications credited in the Acknowledgements, Jane’s works can be found in ByLine, Writer’s Journal, and Wavelength: Poems in Prose and Verse, as well as online in Illustrated Word, a publication of the Episcopal Church and Visual Arts, Right Hand Pointing, and the Akron (Ohio) Art Museum web site. Recently some of her poems were broadcast on Art Waves, on WKCR in New York City, and included in Muscadine Lines: a Southern Anthology (Cold Tree Press).

Jane began writing poetry while taking a class with her colleague and friend, the poet Cathryn Essinger. It is with gratitude and affection that this chapbook is dedicated to Cathy. She also wishes to thank the members of the Edison Writer’s Club for their support. When not writing, Jane enjoys reading, singing, and walking her retriever, Belle. Jane is married to retired National Park Service superintendent Jim Kretschmann, her biggest fan, to whom the chapbook is also dedicated, with love.

To order, and to read a sample poem, visit the FootHills website.
