CHRISTINE POYTHRESS  is a poet and author whose work explores themes of identity, nature, and the human condition. With a keen eye for detail and a deep emotional resonance, her writing captures both the beauty and complexity of life. Her poetry invites readers into moments of introspection, while her prose brings a thoughtful perspective to everyday experiences, and sometimes, she's funny where you wouldn't expect funny to work. Christine's words have earned her recognition in the literary world, and she continues to inspire with her lyrical storytelling. She has written a memoir (which is still in need of an agent), essays, and two books of poetry. Dharma's Dance, her first chapbook, was published by Finishing Line Press, and is also availale from Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. Her work has appeared in Quillkeepers Press, Tangled Locks Journal, and Synchronized Chaos.
