Bridget A. Lyons is a writer, editor, artist, and explorer whose work focuses on appreciating the creativity and diversity of the natural world and increasing our species' awareness of the creatures and landscapes with whom we share our planet.
She currently resides in Santa Cruz, CA, where she makes a point of getting out to surf with sea otters, run through redwood forests, mountain bike with deer and turkeys, swim with sea lions or simply walk the local wrack line with kelp, sanderlings, godwits, and gulls every day. |
Before moving to the coast, Bridget lived for a long time in Teton Valley, ID where she communed with elk, moose, aspen, and fireweed. And before that, she was an intinerant outdoor education instructor living in tents all over the world. To fund her wandering and creative work, she's done everything from teaching fifth grade, freshman composition, and yoga to making energy bars, catering, and pulling weeds in the McMansion yards. These days, she's lucky to work primarily with other writers, assisting them in shaping their ideas into manuscripts or their manuscripts into polished creations.
She has an undergraduate degree from Harvard and an MFA in Creative Writing from Northern Arizona University, speaks Spanish and French, and can proudly fingerpick her way through "Blackbird," "Helplessly Hoping," and "Landslide." She can't dance to save her life, is flummoxed by most simple repairs, and is trying like crazy to talk only to people, animals, plants, algae, fungi, rocks, rivers, and oceans and not to devices of any kind.
