Krista Franklin
April 2004
"There
is a state that I call 'dreamspace.' It is the place (both
mental and physical) where emergent creative processes can
thrive. A Studio in the Woods provided me with dreamspace.
Surrounded by nature and beauty, I was able to begin conceiving
and writing the work for my next poetry manuscript, my words
being carefully ushered in by the natural rhythms of the
woods. I am eternally grateful to have had the opportunity
to create here and to begin forging a new community here.
