Joan Mazza, from Volume 3:1

Joan Mazza has worked as a medical microbiologist, psychotherapist, and seminar leader, and has been a Pushcart Prize nominee. Author of six books, including Dreaming Your Real Self (Penguin/Putnam), her poetry has appeared in Rattle, Kestrel, The MacGuffin, Mezzo Cammin, Buddhist Poetry Review, and The Nation. She ran away from the hurricanes of South Florida to be surprised by the earthquakes and tornadoes of rural central Virginia, where she writes poetry and does fabric and paper art. Visit her personal website at: www.JoanMazza.com

Mazza had one poem in Volume 3:1, the elegant "Dimes":

silver caterpillar, shiny worm, living metal,
hold memories of hands they’ve touched.

I stack them up, play Midas like a child...
