Chris Dahl hopes to cup a handful of murky pond-water and reveal another world half-hidden in this one. Her manuscript, Not Now but Soon, won Concrete Wolf’s 2024 Louis Award and is scheduled to be published in April, 2025. Mrs. Dahl in the Season of Cub Scouts, a chapbook, won Still Waters Press “Women’s Words” competition. Her most recent journal publications include The Mainstreet Rag and Thirteen Bridges—and she has had poems nominated both for Best of the Internet and a Pushcart Prize. A board member of the Olympia Poetry Network, she edits their monthly newsletter.
