BRYONIE WISE IS A MULTIDIMENSIONAL BEING WHO LOVES LIBRARY BOOKS, ROAD TRIPPING WITH HER RESCUE DOGGO, WINSTON AND THE MANY WAYS SUNLIGHT COMMUNICATES WITH TREES. LIKE SO MANY SENTIENT BEINGS BOTH BEFORE HER AND SURROUNDING HER NOW, BRYONIE HAS LIVED A VARIETY OF LIVES THAT CONTINUE TO MAKE THEM WHO THEY ARE ALWAYS BECOMING. EVER SO BRIEFLY, A FEW HIGHLIGHTS BRAIDING THEMSELVES TOGETHER TO BECOME HER UNFOLDING STORY: THEY HOLD A BAA IN PHOTOGRAPHY; EXTENSIVE AND WONDERFULLY OVERWHELMING KNOWLEDGE IN FINE ART PUBLISHING AND EDITING, PLUS YEARS AND YEARS OF HOLDING SAFE AND SACRED SPACES FOR OTHER HUMAN BEINGS SO THEY MAY MOVE, BREATHE, FEEL CREATE AND IF IT IS SO, DIE. THERE IS PLENTY MORE, OF COURSE, WHICH SHE’D BE HAPPY TO SHARE ABOUT OVER A MUG OF TEA SOMEDAY, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU GET A SENSE OF WHO THEY ARE, INCLUDING THIS LAST ONE: BRYONIE IS ALSO THE AUTHOR OF TWO INDEPENDENTLY PUBLISHED POETRY BOOKS—STORIES MY MAMA TOLD ME AFTER SHE WAS GONE AND HEART ROAR: A BOOK OF TINY PRAYERS.
