To Walk The North Direction
C.L. (Ciel Leontyne) Downing has previous work featured in Imbroglio, Ribbit, Text Lures Text, Word & Image, North Coast Squid, and The Timberline Review. She has won the Academy of American Poets Prize, Honorable Mention for the Elizabeth Lyons Award, and Runner-up for the MoonPath Press Sally Albiso Award.
Her first novel is to be published near the end of 2024. C.L. Downing is also an accomplished photographer of nature, and from behind the lens, even uncovers beauty in the decaying world at large. Her photographs have won awards, are prized by art lovers, and grace many publications, such as this very collection, as well as the cover of the 2023 edition of the literary journal North Coast Squid.
Culling from a life of adventure/misadventure, sometimes privilege, sometimes hardship, always hope, she brings an avenue of authenticity and prospect for optimism in a vial of words painted in the colors of laughter, despair, loneliness, elation, and courage.
