The concrete details: Sally has a BFA in theatre from Syracuse Univerrsity, she has been involved in slam poetry at the national level, she is part of an artists' collective that puts on shows to benefit the community and she has just completed her second chapbook "Walking Woman." Sally likes to make things with her hands. She finds faith in the trees, honesty in the ocean, perseverance in the desert. She misses the cyclical nature of the seasons.
