Linda Stryker writes from Phoenix, AZ.  She volunteered for many years as a radio reader for blind and disabled people.  She taught for twenty-four years at Arizona State University.  She founded the poetry groups Poetry Exchange, for critiquing work, and COW: Community of Writers.  COW meets weekly and is a working group much like a quilting bee, where people bring their laptops and write, revise, submit, or discuss poems and in general, provide inspiration and encouragement to its members.  She also participates in a ZOOM poetry critique/workshop with members from all across the U.S. who originally met in the Kenyon Review Workshops.  Stryker has been published in numerous journals and her chapbook Starcrossed was published in 2018.   Currently she is working on a collection.
