Shortcut, poetry written by Lucretia Lixandru at Spillwords.com

Melissa Lemay lives in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, with her three children, four cats, and a dog. She never graduated college. She has lived an interesting life, and her experiences shape her writing (some might call it an obsession). She writes about God, addiction, trauma, healing, motherhood, and many other things. She enjoys spending time with family, drinking good coffee, and being outdoors. She loves animals. Her poem, Ephemeral, was chosen as "Poetic Publication of the Year" for 2023 at Spillwords Press.
