A lovely little chapbook is here!
At the start of 2023, Vanessa was part of Lunenburg’s Little Book Collective — a group of 12 writers who supported each other as they each worked on their own chapbooks. Vanessa’s chapbook, The middle of the meadow, combines her writing along with her printmaking and is now available for purchase!

Artists for Ukraine
