Lynn’s words work to connect and capture the improbable and invisible through poetry, essays and experimental blending of literary genre. Her themes center around connectedness, unseen disability and the stories we collect and tell ourselves in order to cope, expand and survive. In photography, her preferred mediums summon the slower days of silver collodion or analog emulsion unless she’s traveling, capturing street photography with her Fuji F100V.
