About Marybeth Holleman Books
Marybeth Holleman was raised by North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains and lives in the embrace of Alaska's Chugach Mountains. She's the author of tender gravity: poems, The Heart of the Sound and coauthor of Among Wolves, and coeditor of Crosscurrents North, among others. She's also coeditor of the forthcoming A Poetic and Artistic Field Guide to Alaska. Her award-winning work appears in over fifty venues including Orion, Christian Science Monitor, Sierra, North American Review, Zoomorphic, and The Guardian. She has held artist residencies in such diverse places as Hedgebrook, Mesa Refuge, Ninfa, Denali National Park, and Tracy Arm Ford's Terror Wilderness. She transplanted to Alaska after falling head over heels for Prince William Sound just two years before the oil spill. When she's not kayaking those beloved fjords, she's following her wild huskies up and down Alaska's mountains.
