Member Christine Lund is proud to announce that her book of poems, Me and Her Shadow, is now published and available for preorder to be shipped October 2020. Me and Her Shadow tells the story of the author’s journey of healing after the death of her daughter. The poems also celebrate her lost daughter’s life, through memories and some of her possessions. The author connects to her child through them, and through being out in nature. She sees her daughter first in butterflies, then in crows. While sensing her daughter’s presence in her heart, she comes to believe that spirit survives death. Yet there remains a poignancy to this loss. As she says at the end of her poem, Becoming a Healer, “…and while it feels like betrayal, healing has occurred.” Sometimes sad, sometimes uplifting, these poems are lyrical and honest, shared in the hopes of helping others who are experiencing loss—and everyone who feels love.
 
Christine R. Lund is a poet and writer living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Me and Her Shadow is her first chapbook of poems to be published. Each of these poems lights in some way on her daughter, Kaja, who died at age 23. This tribute and elegy is the story of a mother and daughter, shaped as a musical drama, with poems in place of songs. A self-portrait of Kaja appears on the cover. Christine’s poetry has been published in The Denver Post, Hungry Poets’ Cookbook, and The New Poets’ Anthology, among other publications.  Her travel articles and book reviews have appeared in The New York Times, Albuquerque Journal, and Endless Vacation magazine.
