Author's Bio

Trina Gaynon's publication history is documented below. Her book Quince, Rose, Grace of God is forthcoming from Fernwood Press.

Inspiration often strikes her in the shower. She hops out to write down lines on 3x3 notepads. Her worktable is cluttered with them.

Formerly a volunteer for literacy programs in local libraries and WriteGirl in Los Angeles,she currently leads groups of poetry readers and writers at the Senior Studies Institute in Portland and participates in the Ars Poetica community.
