Lynnygal

Hi--I am Lynny Gal. That's what my Paw Paw called me when I was a baby, and it stuck. I should have been a happy child. I grew up in a great neighborhood with lots of friends and a good school. I turned cartwheels, ran through sprinklers and had sublime moments lying in grass watching clouds drift. But in the bucolic backyard of my childhood there lived a skunk. A skunk that threatened to ruin the garden party of my life. But, as it is with many writers, it is the skunk that pushed me to write my poems and stories.

Muriel Rukeyser said, "The universe isn't made up of atoms. It is made up of stories." Our stories, like the universe, expands and changes with time. These are some of the stories that made up my world--a world that is still changing as it revolves.
