Local Writer To Publish New Collection of Poems


Chaska poet and artist Gail Lipe will publish a new collection of poems entitled Life Seasons with Finishing Line Press, which will be available May 9.

The collection reflects on life’s contrasting seasons–from poems reflecting on life, hope, and the connection between nature and healing, to poems expressing betrayal and loss.

“At once beautiful, somber, piercing and joyful, Life Seasons’ accessible imagery invites us to explore and take possession of our own life journeys. To accept. To react. And to heal,”  said author James Rober Kane in his review of the collection.

Lipe is an award-winning journalist and has published multiple other works including a biography of her mother, No Time to Quit: Life in a Broken Package, and other works of poetry and fiction. She also participates in readings of her poetry and short stories.

Life Seasons can be pre-ordered through the Finishing Line Press website.
