She is \u003cem\u003eprofessor emerita\u003c\/em\u003e in social work at Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. A South Dakota native with pioneer roots, she graduated from the University of South Dakota. She now lives in her hometown of Sioux Falls, a winter wonderland, with her dog Eliot. Her passion for place and language are well nurtured in South Dakota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoule’s poems have appeared in several journals, including \u003cem\u003eSouth Dakota Review, Modern Haiku, The Sow’s Ear Poetry Review, \u003c\/em\u003eand various anthologies. She’s published two books: \u003cem\u003eHiawatha Asylum\u003c\/em\u003e (Finishing Line Press, 2015) and \u003cem\u003ePostcard Days \u003c\/em\u003e(Cherry Grove Collections, 2019).

The MFA followed a successful career teaching social work—also a passion. Thus, she’s an older, whole-grain woman from a land often dismissed—South Dakota—and she truly likes winter. Snow enthralls her. She loves the land, sky, people, and animals who have graced her long, eclectic life. All her roles—including being a caregiver for her hundred-year-old mom—enhance a sense of community with an appreciation of poetry as a touchpoint. She considers herself a well-seasoned woman deeply rooted in a nurturing locale, yet she’s also eager to venture out to appreciate the whole range of humanity in its dignity and rich diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback: 102 pages\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Kelsay Books (June 21, 2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Kelsay Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43220578959422,"sku":"ehw1787286995510","price":15.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/0075\/8846\/files\/winter-woman_1.jpg?v=1787287001","url":"https:\/\/urbanglamboutique.shop\/products\/winter-woman","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
