Dale A. Lombardi is a poet and conceptual artist who takes her inspiration from old trees, stone walls, and daydreams in the Litchfield Hills of Connecticut. She had a poet’s heart from the beginning, but the poet within lay dormant as she earned her degrees in Psychology and Speech-Language Pathology, then juggled family and careers as a speech pathologist, communication consultant and corporate trainer. Once she left the stress of careers and the vigilance of motherhood behind, she had space enough—and time—for the poet-artist within to emerge. Ever believing in the transformative power of beauty, she now spends her days walking, wondering, and braiding her lifetime love of words, music, and ideas into poetry and conceptual art. Her debut poetry collection, Cloud and Bone, was published in 2023. This is her second book.
