Bio Sketch
Lesley
Anne Swanson has lived in Northern California, the Southwest, and the
Pacific Northwest, but now calls Pennsylvania home. Always a wordsmith,
she discovered tanka in 2011 and has been enthralled ever since.
Lesley's tanka effectively builds, line by line, to a timely and socio-politically conscious ending that speaks volumes about the era we live in.
