We have some REVISED information for you regarding our
poetry mind walk scheduled for February 12, 2007.
If you would please, we'd like to change the Bio Statement for Beverly Boyd.
We'd like it to read:

Beverly Boyd has over 30 years' experience teaching English literature and
composition. Her poetry has been published in such journals as Thema,
California Quarterly, English Journal, and Lynx Eye. Beverly lives in Los
Osos.
Shortened version: [The Boyd Bio, Short Version is Unchanged]

published in such journals as Thema, California Quarterly, English Journal,
and Lynx Eye. Beverly lives in Los Osos.
In addition to the usual text information (Title, Description and Bio
statements), we have a graphic for you to use in documents and on web site
promotions on Mind Walks. Actually, there are 4 versions of the graphic - an
image only, and the image with the title, both in color and gray-scale.
I have the graphics in various formats: the image only is png; the
image+title was done in Adobe Illustrator, so I have ai files or png
files. I can produce files in other formats if you prefer. The file sizes are as
follows:
image only, color, png - 2.4 MB
image only, gray-scale, png - 1.3 MB
image+titles, color,ai - 5.9 MB
image+titles, color, png - 1.7 MB
image+titles, gray-scale, png - 1.2 MB
...
The text information follows. There are 2 versions - the second version has been
edited down to fewer words, in case you need something that will fit into a
smaller space.
Title: Our World: Poetic Visions
Description: Like the ancient shaman, storyteller or tribal elder, the poet and
natural history docent of today interpret the phenomena of our world for their

times and themes of our world.
