Cynthia McDole Vandersluis - Poetry
Cynthia Vandersluis' poems and essays have
appeared in many regional publications and been selected by organizations such
as the Arts & Humanities Councils and ARS POETICA, to be featured in
galleries and public art displays. She is also the author of
First Date at
the Seaside Arcade (2016), a collection of poems and images. The
illustrated anthology features 38 poems written over the past two decades,
exploring love and loss, place and time, and how we move through the world.
Over fifty images by a variety of contributing artists illuminate the poems, in
media including watercolor, acrylic, collage, photography, mixed media, and
