Julie Morrison has an irrepressible need to know what’s around the next corner, even if she gets easily carsick. She is the author of Barbed: A Memoir as well as published short stories and essays. She’s had individual poems performed live and published, but this is her first collection. Still grappling with a travel bug, she has resided in four states outside and five cities inside Arizona, and has visited thirty-eight other states and twelve countries. She is a former transportation planner, rancher, and investments analyst, and current dog person, coffee drinker, and hat enthusiast.
