Lynn Carrigan

A longtime lover of literacy, Lynn likes languages, letters, libraries, locals, luggage, and sometimes lying. More about Lynn: “Before launching a career in journalism and social work, I came to poetry at 17. Thanks to my high school English teachers in Decatur, GA, during that time of raging battles for civil rights, I learned that the rich, story-telling language of the American South could balance the world’s heartbreaks with a close observation of both inner and outer experiences, an appreciation of small wonders, and the courage to make both sense and music with words. Over the years my work has appeared in many professional conferences and publications, and my poetry most recently in Jeanie Okimoto’s 2025 poetry anthology Grief Age Love, the Wesleyan University anti-war anthology We Speak for Peace, Vashon Center for the Arts chapbooks Vashon Writes and The Work We Do, and presented over Voice of Vashon radio and the annual nationwide broadcast of 100Thousand Poets for Peace.”
