Editor's Note:

In 2002, I began a collection of visual and audio work about women. The series, entitled "Flinch: A Study of Your Self," will be on display at the Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque from March 6th to 27th. The visual images in this Broadside represent some of the works from that series. To learn more about "Flinch," visit www.flinch-art.info.

Both Santa Fe and Albuquerque have defined March as Women & Creativity Month. To celebrate, I asked other women poets to help create this issue of the Santa Fe Poetry Broadside. Thanks to Ann, Judith and Mary for offering up even more facets of our gender.
