Under the influence of her poetic muse, Genette has spent the past decade exploring, learning, and grasping the Earth Mind鈥攏ature's wild choice to transpose emotion onto us鈥攁 mode of consciousness. Earth Mind, part anthropocentric and part holocentric, has inspired her to journal her daughter's interactions with nature. These gentle entires will be published in the forthcoming book, Earth Mind. In addition to writing about this paradoxical state, Genette's work has been published in The Connecticut Review, The Carrier Pigeon, Cancer ABCs, Zink Magazine, and Jezebal Music.
