Poet and horticulturist Twyla Hansen was raised in northeast Nebraska on land her grandparents farmed in the late 1800′s as immigrants from Denmark. Her writing is included in the anthologies Times of Sorrow/Times of Grace, Woven on the Wind, and A Contemporary Reader for Creative Writing, among others. Twyla works and lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, where her wooded acre is maintained as an urban wildlife habitat, winning the Mayor’s Landscape Conservation Award in 1994.
Hansen’s poem “Hailstorm, 1965″ was featured on Garrison Keillor’s Writer’s Almanac.
