Luci Shaw once wrote that she liked the way Heather Cadenhead saw things—“not just with her eyes, but with all her senses focused.” A native Tennessean, Heather’s poems and essays are published or forthcoming in Inkwell, The Rabbit Room, St. Katherine Review, and other journals. Her poetry has received Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net nominations as well as a New Plains Review Editorial Prize. Over on Substack, she publishes a monthly newsletter on caregiving and creativity called Firelight.
