ANN HOWELLS
Ann Howells, author of Painting the Pinwheel Sky, edited Illya’s Honey for seventeen years, first in print and then four years online. Named a “Distinguished Poet of Dallas” by the city in 2001, she has received seven Pushcart nominations and taken first place in several local/state competitions. She served as President of Dallas Poets Community (501-c-3) for four years and as Treasurer for many more. She also serves on advisory boards and panels, judges poetry competitions, participates in taking poetry into schools -- elementary through college -- and presents her work at festivals and conferences. Over 600 of her poems have appeared in small press and university publications in the United States and Europe—including Spillway, THEMA, Little Patuxent Review, Magma (England) and Crannog (Ireland).
The poems in this manuscript are persona poems, spoken primarily in the voice of Vincent Van Gogh but a few by others prominent in his life. Italicized passages within the poems are direct quotations from Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo. In other poems Van Gogh's thoughts and ideas are frequently paraphrased, summarized, or interpreted.
