Agnes Eva Savich’s poetry has been published in major journals, anthologized in collections, and placed in contests since 2004. She plays oboe in a woodwind quintet and local community orchestras, and works in administration at The University of Texas at Austin. She has a daughter and a son. Her haiku leadership roles have included Haiku Society of America Southwest Regional coordinator, Haiku North America board of directors treasurer, Austin Haiku group founder, HSA mentor, Touchstone Awards Panelist, and judge of the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival Haiku Invitational, HSA Merit Book Awards, and HSA Rengay Contest. Previously published works include The Watcher: Poems (Cedar Leaf Press, 2009) and A Charm of Finches: HSA Southwest Region Anthology (as editor, The RoadRunner Press, 2022).

Praise for so many dandelions:

“The presence of absent things and, occasionally, the absence in present things. The poems in this collection expertly articulate a quality of translucent reality. Agnes Eva Savich has been practicing haiku subtlety for over twenty years. This is the fruit of that labor. Delicious and nourishing.”

— John Stevenson, Managing Editor, The Heron’s Nest

“Agnes Eva Savich has mastered the art of speaking the unspoken, and it’s between the lines where her voice carries. Her use of juxtaposition illuminates the nuances of the human condition through her observations of nature, with more than a few surprises.”

— Kelly Sauvage Moyer, Author of Hushpuppy
