    About this ebook

    Already Near You is a collection of poetry by feminist poets Susan Windle and Ellen Ford Mason. These two women have been performing in the Philadelphia area with singer Annie Geheb since 1991 as Voices of a Different Dream. The poets document their journey together and present their most performed work. Rooted in the natural world, the poetry embodies the struggle to come into full voice in a culture that often veils the truth. The poems convey a vital and passionate connection to the earth and celebrate the deep connections between people. Painter Sara Steele has described their work: "like a good line drawingsimple, intricate, clear." Singer-songwriter Ysaye Barnwell dubs their CD, You Know My Name, "a lovely experience." And writer Scott Tucker says of the poets "These voices have unforced strength and clarity.There is both heart and mind in each.

      There’s so many Joni records that have been deeply formative and influential for me as a musician and a writer and a human, but the reason I picked Ladies Of The Canyon is because that’s tied to my first musical memory. It was my mum’s favourite reco
