From the Desk of the Poet:

At this stage of my writing career I have published or had accepted 126 poems but no chapbook or volume of verse. I've been sending out two chapbooks recently, each with its own theme; the book ms. probably needs revising. Time is pressing: I will be 86 in April if I don't get wiped out driving I-35 in Austin, where I live. The first verse I can remember writing was circa 1950; I got going on writing in earnest in 1981 and have been actively submitting only since August, 2022. Most of my publications date from the last two years, including two Pushcart nominations. 

Lynn D. Gilbert's poems have appeared in Arboreal, Blue Unicorn (Pushcart nomination), Consequence, The Good Life Review, Light, Mezzo Cammin, Southwestern American Literature, and elsewhere. Her poetry volume has been a finalist in the Gerald Cable and Off the Grid Press book contests.  A founding editor of Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review, she lives in a suburb of Austin and reads poetry submissions for Third Wednesday journal.
