Mary Stone Dockery

Author's Bio

First collection of poetry will be released by Woodley Press in 2012. Two chapbooks are forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press and Kattywompus Press. While I mainly consider myself a poet, I also write nonfiction and fiction. My work relies on sensual language and is often described as musical. I also co-edit Stone Highway Review with poet Amanda Hash: www.stonehighway.com. You can find more info on me at www.marystonedockery.wordpress.com.
