Christina V. Pacosz has been the recipient of a Ucross Foundation grant providing a block of time to write poetry. She also served as Visiting Artist for several seasons with the North Carolina Arts Council. Such amply bestowed honors came to Ms. Pacosz for valid reasons. Her work is beautifully crafted, easily understood, and often breathtaking.
