TWYLA HANSEN'S newest book, Dirt Songs: A Plains Duet (Backwaters Press 2011) is a duo with South Dakota rancher-writer Linda Hasselstrom (http://windbreakhouse.com). Her book Potato Soup won the 2004 Nebraska Book Award for poetry, and her poems have been nominated twice for the Pushcart Prize. Twyla’s other books are Prairie Suite: A Celebration (with Paul Johnsgard), Sanctuary Near Salt Creek, In Our Very Bones, and How to Live in the Heartland. Her poetry and prose have appeared in a wide variety of publications, including Prairie Fire newspaper, Prairie Schooner, Crab Orchard Review, Ascent, Organization & Environment, Nebraska Presence: An Anthology of Poetry (Backwaters Press 2007), Encyclopedia of the Great Plains (University of Nebraska Press, 2004), Crazy Woman Creek: Women Rewrite the American West (Houghton Mifflin, 2004), Poets Against the War (Nation Books, 2003), and A Contemporary Reader for Creative Writing (Harcourt Brace, 1994). Twyla earned her BS and MAg from the University of Nebraska — Lincoln. She was raised in northeast Nebraska on land her grandparents farmed in the late 1800s as immigrants from Denmark. She is a creative writing presenter through the Nebraska Humanities Council speaker’s bureau, and lives and works in Lincoln, where her wooded acre is maintained as an urban wildlife habitat and was recognized by the 1994 Mayor’s Landscape Conservation Award. |
