Iowa Writes DIANE FRANK I didn't plan where to put the irises. As the tangled roots of warmer weather Every day I add another flower— I want to make love in the intuitive garden, |
About Iowa Writes Since 2006, Iowa Writes has featured the work of Iowa-identified writers (whether they have Iowa roots or live here now) and work published by Iowa journals and publishers on The Daily Palette. Iowa Writes features poetry, fiction, or nonfiction twice a week on the Palette. In November of 2008, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) designated Iowa City, Iowa, the world's third City of Literature, making the community part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. Iowa City has joined Edinburgh, Scotland and Melbourne, Australia as UNESCO Cities of Literature. Find out more about submitting by contacting iowa-writes@uiowa.edu DIANE FRANK Diane Frank is author of five books of poems, including The Winter Life of Shooting Stars and Entering the Word Temple. Her friends describe her as a harem of seven women in one very small body. She has mentored hundreds of writers at San Francisco State University, City College of San Francisco, The University of Vermont, and the Professional Writing Program at MIU in Fairfield. She divides her time between Iowa and San Francisco—where she dances, plays cello, and creates her life as an art form. "Planting Flowers in the Intuitive Garden" appears in Voices on the Landscape: Contemporary Iowa Poets, edited by Michael Carey (Loess Hills Books, 1996). |
