Blisters, thorns, insect bites and sunburn are almost discernible in the lines of poetry that relate a life of engagement with the land and water of coastal Savannah. Ann Sheils, and many generations of her family, have lived a life informed by the perennial garden that is the world. Ann was given her first boat and motor at 12, and before that learned camellia grafting from her grandfather-activities that transformed her appreciation of both the real world and the insubstantial one that underlies it, and that taught the need for a "compromised flowering."

Autorenporträt
It is not surprising that Ann Sheils chose a gardening theme for her recent chapbook, In the Perennial Garden. She has spent the last 41 years caring for land alongside her much loved Vernon River in Savannah. Few flowers have her attention. Instead she writes of snakes, storms, killing raccoons-and emblematic gardening failures. Ann's family has been native to Savannah since its founding, though she has become a part time resident of Telluride, Colorado, where she finds inspiration from wilderness and mountains. Ann is a graduate of Duke University, a former teacher and current realtor. She has been married for 41 years, and has three adult children. Some poems resonate with words from The Book of Common Prayer, and from her experience at St. Johns' Parish Church for 35 years. She has published poems and short stories in many periodicals, including The Anglican Theological Review, Dappled Things, The Wayfarer, Gray's Sporting Journal, Time of Singing, TJM Journal, The Aurorean, and others. Ann has participated in writers' conferences at Sewanee, Aspen, and Ossabaw Island.
