INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR GLEAH POWERS, Todaysauthor.com

“A strong, southwest influence, mixed with my extensive background as a writer, dancer and practitioner of body and movement therapies come together in surprising ways as I work to make new fusions of perfected form that speak back to me." Red Savina Review, Artist Showcase #7
