Poems, memoir passages, and reflections that honor her life and our love
This page is designed to grow. It can hold finished poems, short excerpts, audiobook links, manuscript excerpts, and notes about where a fuller work appears. Rather than forcing everything onto one long memorial page, the archive gives each piece room to breathe.
The entries below are starting points—you can replace or extend each one as you add more reflections.
Memoir · in progress
The most direct account of meeting Lynn, choosing each other, building a life together, and remembering a bond that was much deeper than legal or social labels could contain. Add a short excerpt here as you draft.
Memoir · related material
Includes the larger arc from invisibility and shyness toward connection, love, creative identity, and the relationships that made healing possible. Link to selected chapters where Lynn appears.
Poems about love, loss, and trauma
A natural home for poems about Lynn, memory, grief, devotion, and the moments that keep their meaning long after life changes. Add “An Infinite Beach,” “The Whole Story,” “What Really Matters,” and “Eternity.”
From What Really Matters: Poems About Love, Loss & Trauma
Use this section for recent poems, open-mic versions, or short reflections written after the books. A good pattern is: title, date if known, one paragraph of context, then the poem or an excerpt.
Date: yyyy-mm-dd · Context: One or two sentences about when and why you wrote it.
