Cal Louise Phoenix was born, raised, and educated in Kansas, where she continues to reside. Her poetry, fiction, and non fiction have appeared in literary pub-lications since 2010, including her essay “Renovating Shabbat,” which won the Beecher’s 2015 Contest in non fiction. Tracing Ghosts is her first book.
Thought I'd give it a try, as a writer from my local community. Unfortunately, this collection of poetry suffered from severe self-indulgence and overwriting. I do not recommend this book.
