Our Lady Gaia

Lawrence Hawk is known by friends and clients as Hawk, a nickname that evolved from his work as a career cab driver in Portland, Oregon. It lines up well with his wandering throughout The Great Northwest. Being immersed in nature, all four seasons, brings him great joy. These days, creative writing is a means to process his experience. You can read more of his poetry at www.strongheartclan.com.

Carlyn Flint is a playwright, teacher and illustrator currently living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She runs an arts-infusion reading and writing program for kids called ARTademics (www.artademics.com), where students explore their own interests and create meaningful projects (just like this book!). When not painting, writing, or teaching, you can find her exploring the woods with her big dog Lion, making friends with the spiders, stick bugs, weeds and rocks.
