Shuly Xóchitl Cawood is a Yellow Springs native who now resides in Tennessee.
Shuly writes poetry, memoir, fiction, non-fiction, and she teaches
writing. Over the last ten years she has become a regular guest on the
program-it is always such a delight to have her. For National Poetry
Month in April we staged another one of our poetic reunions. Shuly read
some of her favorite poems and also shared a couple of her own. I read a
few, too. This was her 13th appearance in the Book Nook.
