Who I am.

I write about the landscape of grief, nature, and the wisdom of fools. The author of four books, my essays, poems, and reviews have been published in over 50 journals, including in the Huffington Post and Colorado Review. I’ve won the River Teeth Nonfiction Book Award, the Chautauqua and Literal Latte’s essay prizes, and my work has been nominated for four Pushcart Prizes and named a notable by Best American Essays. My account of hiking in Yosemite to deal with my wife’s death, Mountains of Light, was published by the University of Nebraska Press. http://www.markliebenow.com.

    I apologize if this posts twice. I am the world's worst blog signer-inner in the in the world. But just wanted to say that I agree that this is an important discussion to have and I am glad you brought up the topic. How beautiful that part of your wife is able to live in and that she helped so many people.
