[PW] Lisa Leafstrand

[David Anderson]

Having a copy of this book, I hasten to respond--

The bio given for Lisa Leafstrand is:  a Wheaton College graduate, has had 
her poetry published in Mademoiselle, Atlantic Review and other magazines, 
and is the winner of a Hopwood Award in Poetry from the University of 
Michigan, where she received an M.A. in English. She is an editor of 
children's books in New York City.

She has one poem (as far as I can tell from a quick perusal of the table of 
contents) in the 129 pages of poems--
Truer Gifts, p.26.

Other poets in this book including Chad Walsh, David Craig, Luci Shaw, 
Eugene Peterson, Madeleine L'Engle, Sandra Duguid, Elizabeth Rooney, Eugene 
Warren --- you get the idea.

Over and out?

David
