Poetry by Lynne Schilling

“They will say that she loved words

so much that as a child she read

with a dictionary at her side,

and to this day her life spins

around an axis of books …”

— Excerpt from “The Pre-Obituary”

Lynne Schilling, a white woman in her seventies, sitting on a couch writing on her laptop.

“She wrote poetry sporadically and not for distribution until, at age 75, she began writing and reading poetry seriously.”
