Poetry Open Mic - Featuring Lynne Jensen Lampe

Lynne Jensen Lampe was born in Newfoundland and raised mostly in Louisiana. Themes of conformity, sanity, gender, and faith often find their way into her work, including her debut collection, Talk Smack to a Hurricane, from Ice Floe Press. Lynne’s poems appear in many journals, including Moist, Figure 1, Yemassee, The American Journal of Poetry, One, and Rock & Sling, as well as SMEOP: Urban, a UK anthology. She was a finalist for the 2020 Red Wheelbarrow Poetry Prize. Lynne lives with her husband and two dogs in Columbia, Missouri. When not throwing squeaky toys or forgetting to water the plants, she makes time to edit academic books and journals.
