Linda Imbler
As I've stated many times, much of my writing is a visceral reaction to what is happening around me. Or, it might be the result of a niggling memory that simply won't stop tapping me on the shoulder. In a few cases, I have written pieces because my friends or family members have said, "Linda, I think there's a story there." And, they are always right!
On several occasions, I have challenged myself to write a piece with only one word being the launching point. This happened with the word "lambent" that I saw in a crossword puzzle. I wrote the entire poem, "Tomb" around that one word. That poem just poured out of me. It was one of my earliest compositions, and I am still very proud of it because it's so cool. (Tomb is published in 'Big Questions, Little Sleep.)
