  1. Hensley, the background picture above seems to be a shot of the Shenandoah Valley, probably somewhere between Elkton and Luray. Can you let us know the overlook from which this was taken?

  2. Dear Julie I hope you remember me from the Bridgewater Int Poetry Festival a few years ago. I grew up with your Dad, Mike, in Elkton, VA. You and I chatted and read poetry. I have a request of you regarding my forthcoming manuscript, Needville. This is poetry about coal mining in SW VA and surrounds and is an homage to the people of that area. Would you be willing to review the manuscript and possibly consider writing a blurb for the cover?
