Local writer's work featured in Iowa poetry book

GRUNDY CENTER – Local author and poet Jean Evans is no stranger to seeing her name in print. For nearly 50 years, Evans’ poetry has been published in the Iowa Poetry Association’s annual book, and this year is no different.
Every year, the Association collects submissions from writers across the state. Everyone from kindergarteners to centenarians submit their work with the hope of having their poetry published in the association’s annual compendium “Lyrical Iowa.”
This year, Evans had her poetry published alongside 362 other lucky Iowa writers, like she has every year since 1969.
Some people might think that after nearly 50 years of writing, they would simply have nothing else to say, but not Evans.
