Corinne Walsh is a poet in progress. She earned a Pushcart Prize nomination for short fiction in 2006, then stopped writing to raise her family. Covid-19 brought writing back into her life. Her first chapbook, THE BOOK OF LU (March 2022), was a collaborative effort with photographer LuAnne Underhill, chronicling the journey of a long distance relationship. Since then, her poetic dialogue about love and loss, and the irrepressible connection to the natural world has continued. Walsh collected The Tomahawk Creek Review's 2023 summer poetry prize, as well as placing 2nd in the Westmoreland Arts and Heritage Festival's summer 2023 poetry competition. Her poems have also appeared in "eunoia review," Bluebird Word," and "Abandoned Mine." She is most at home near the ocean, and enjoys rowing and exploring lighthouses.
