Cheryl Snell

author profile

gender female
website http://writerslairbooks.com/snell.html
genre Poetry, Literature & Fiction
influences I'm a classical pianist, but my love of the sound of words can be traced to my father. At the table, he would recite Chaucer, Coleridge and Robert Burns, complete with brogue.

about this author

I am the author of a novel, Shiva's Arms (Writer's Lair Books), and four collections of poetry: Flower Half Blown (Finishing Line Press) Epithalamion (Little Poem Press), Samsara (Pudding House), and Prisoner's Dilemma. Prisoner's Dilemma won the 2008 Lopside Press chapbook competition, and will be published this summer. An electronic chapbook, Murmuration, is out now from Gold Wake Press.
