3/30 Women's Words: Becca Brin Manlove
Becca Brin Manlove's kids have mostly forgiven her for being a tree-hugging writer. She continues to make her home in the woods. In the summer, she practices gardening and makes green tomato salsa (short growing season), and the rest of the year she skijors behind Pshycho Mantis. Becca hasn't quit her day job, but she is completing her next manuscript, a work-in-progress titled Sweet Dreams, Michael: A Verdant Grief.
Many other essays by Becca Brin Manlove have been published in The Ely Summer/Winter Times and are archived online, including Ice Talk, Elyites at the Iditarod, For the Price of an Evening Walk, Watery Questions, and Ely Christmas Parade, among others.
Women's Words airs Sundays at 1:30pm and 3:30pm. Funding for Women's Words is provided by The Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
