Chris Dahl hopes to cup a handful of murky pond-water and reveal another world half-hidden in this one.  Her book, Not Now but Soon, won Concrete Wolf’s 2024 Louis Award. Mrs. Dahl in the Season of Cub Scouts, a chapbook, was published after winning Still Waters Press “Women’s Words” competition.  Her poems have been placed in a wide variety of journals—recently in Kestrel and Cirque—and she has had poems nominated both for Best of the Internet and Pushcart Prizes.  A board member of the Olympia Poetry Network, she edits their monthly newsletter, and shares her life with her husband and a tuxedo cat once named Minnow, but now called Sylvie.
