Elizabeth Spencer Spragins

What does your inner writing voice tell you?

The voice in my heart insists that I share the beauty and mystery of landscapes with those who might never experience them except through my words.

What is a book you wish someone would write?

I would love to hear the voices of trees captured in a poetry collection.

Where do you normally find yourself writing?

I have a studio where I spend most of my intentional writing time. However, elusive lines that flit around the edges of my mind often keep me awake until the wee hours. For that reason, I keep a notepad, pencil, and flashlight by the bed. Fragments of poems also take shape while I’m swimming my daily mile. Consequently, I have been known to scribble lines on paper towels in the locker room.

You can read Elizabeth’s “Journeys,” which consists of three short reflections on places meaningful to her, in Yellow Arrow’s just released HOME issue (Vol. V, No. 2) and listen to her, along with several other HOME authors, at our Home Sweet HOME virtual reading June 5, 6-7 p.m. For more information about Elizabeth, visit authorsden.com/elizabethspragins.
