HDJ Poetry Editor Sheryl Noethe has kindly donated $1,000 in the name of her mother, Barbara Noethe. Of her mother, Sheryl writes,

Barbara Noethe was generous and funny. Loyal and fierce. She taught me how to survive in a man's world. She passed over in my arms and became a Norse goddess.

We are thankful for Sheryl’s generous donation and grateful for the opportunity to honor her mother’s memory.
