		“One detects in Evans’s poems the necessity to take risks. In her work as in her life, she combines those most enviable qualities: profundity of thought, generosity of feeling.” –Thomas Centolella, Stegner Fellow, Stanford University and author, Terra Firma “Evans’s poems sparkle with energy. Many of her lines are among the most electric I’ve read in years. They are deeply, therapeutically satisfying.” –Elouise Bell, author, Only When I Laugh Kathy Evans was born in the small farm town of American Fork, Utah.
