Spotlight On Writers

Sunmy Brown

@SolidadEDConSul

Where, do you hail from?

I was born in Baltimore, Maryland but live in Ellicott City, Maryland. It’s an old mill town and the place I grew up since the late 1970’s.

What is the greatest thing about the place you call home?

It’s one of the most diverse cities and communities in the nation. We have a multi-dynamic community that believes that taking care of the community is one of the noblest aspects of living anywhere in the U.S.A.

What turns you on creatively?

Listening to music, reading from great poets and writers, and constantly exploring new techniques to try when writing poetry.

What is your favorite word, and can you use it in a poetic sentence?

Serendipity is my favorite word.

Serendipity, serendipity! Shout it from the mountain tops; your arrival brings endless joy and comfort to my soul. Let the floodgates open wide and rejoice!

What is your pet peeve?

Dishonesty and lack of moral scruples.

What defines Sunmy Brown?

I want all of humanity to love one another and treat others with kindness. Spread the love and encourage others always. Bring endless joy into someone’s life. Pay it forward whenever you can. When you have been given much, you have a responsibility to give that much more.

Sunmy Brown

2nd-generation Korean-American born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1976. I am full-time educator and single mother who is passionate about social justice, equity in education, and protecting the environment. I am lover of the outdoors, books, music, traveling, and writing.

Lou Storey

A textbook example of nominative determinism, Lou Storey has always been a storyteller, a fact well illustrated in his art and in his writing. His careers have reflected that as well, first as a creator of idea-based exhibitions for museums, and later as a psychotherapist employing narrative therapies. His art and his writing share qualities of rich texture and detail, examining our capacity to be absurd while allowing a measure of forgiveness for our foibles. Storey and his husband Steve retired in 2021 and moved from New Jersey to Savannah Georgia. “We love everything about Savannah, it is like a city that looks like a park and thinks it’s a small town. Best of all, we can grow bananas in the backyard!”

Treats Only, Please! by Lauren Scott

Creepy cackles from tall, looming trees
startle their jumpy heartbeats as they walk.
Shadows discreetly follow the echoes
while they timidly proceed down the block.

Young voices repeat with conviction,
“It’s just a night for entertainment.”
There’s no need for goosebumps and fear
as their eyes focus on the cracked pavement.

Undeniably sensing they’re not alone,
many follow in their hesitant footsteps,
eager to reach doors and push doorbells
but afraid of frightening special effects....
