Jill McCabe Johnson is the editor of Becoming: What Makes a Woman (2012, University of Nebraska Gender Programs), and author of the poetry collection Diary of the One Swelling Sea (2013, MoonPath Press). She lives with her husband on an island in the Salish Sea where she has defunked coffee stains from old Irish linens, debunked ghost stories about their 106 year old inn, but hasn’t degunked the earwax that distorts her hearing.
