My resignation comes only from my own desire to focus on other endeavors. I am forever, forever grateful for every experience I have had working with these talented, exceptional women. Possibly the best women!!!

And do not worry ~ these very same women will continue to publish and promote poetry in the way only they can. I'm also sticking around as a member of the Board, to try and develop it into a resource that will keep Switchback going for years to come.

Much love,
Brandi
