Gail Tyson

A workshop with Cathy Smith Bowers inspired Gail Tyson to write dreams forward as pantoums, and she enjoys the challenges of all poetic forms, from the meticulous minute to the fiendish sestina. As often as she can, she writes at the cabin in the East Tennessee mountains that she shares with her husband, Dick, and border collie, Maggie. Gail earned an MA from Stanford University’s Creative Writing Program, and her work has appeared in America and Still Point Arts Quarterly. When she is not writing poems, fiction and creative nonfiction, she works as an educational marketing consultant.
