About the Author:
"Iris Leahy is a proud ISU graduate, Central Illinois music teacher, and poet. Her poetry, inspired by the great confessional female poets of the 20th century, aims to bring depth and meaning to the mundane. Focusing on themes of love, loss, and identity, Leahy documents her own experiences in ways that are universally understood. When not writing, she can be found at home crocheting with her cat, Emilia.”
