Congratulations to Audrey Brooks, whose winning entry, “Symphony of Trees,” is a detail from the painting by Edmonton artist Sharon Abbott (used with permission), who is pleased that her painting, owned by Audrey, was chosen for the anthology cover.
Audrey has a particular affection for trees, for they intertwine roots to form a communication network. She says, “We could learn a lot from trees. They are sentient beings, an essential part of life on this planet.”
