edit data

Laura Boggess is a hopeless romantic who lives with her husband in a little valley in Appalachia. In her day job, she is a counselor at a traumatic-care medical rehabilitation center. She adores poppies, playdates, and fresh-scented pillows—and loves to escape into poetic romances by crafting her own during secret moments. She is the author of Mildred's Garden and Waiting for Neruda's Memoirs, both part of The Poetry Club Series from T. S. Poetry Press. You can find her, with flowers, on Instagram @lauraboggess.
