LOGEN CURE just can't throw anything away. Born in 1986, she is a native Texan who is still amazed at how much bigger everything really is. She loves traveling, coffee with lots of sugar, and her dog, Parker. She is also the author of a book of poetry and prose entitled Something of a Mess. National Book Award winner Larry Heinemann has this to say about Logen: "Something of a Mess is a book of prose and poetry that crackles with great good sense, wonderment, and an unblinking puzzlement that leads to wisdom and grace. This is the first book by Logen Cure, one of the brightest and most talented young writers I have encountered."
