Lynne Thompson’s work has appeared in Ploughshares, In Posse Review, Rattle and Sou’Wester, among others. These publications were almost as exciting as trips she’s taken across the US and beyond to Kenya & the Caribbean. She would add more to this bio, but she’s too busy packing.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
