Sharon Auberle is a poet and photographer. She loves water and winter, the subjects of many of her poems, and is happy to be back in the land of her roots—the Midwest—after nearly twenty years in the drought-stricken Southwest. Sharon is the author of four poetry books, two of which also contain her photos, as well as several collaborations of her photos with other poets. When not writing or out in the woods, Sharon can be found on Facebook or hanging poems and pictures at her website, Mimi's Golightly Café. She freely admits that both take time away from her poetry.
