We are featuring new poems by Heather Hutcheson, a professor of English in Sacramento, California. She is the founding editor of the Cosumnes River Journal and curator of the ‘Our Life Stories’ conference held annually at Cosumnes River College. During the semester, she promotes a language exchange between day laborers and community college students in a parking lot, and she spends summers teaching English (and learning Spanish) in Oaxaca, Mexico.
