SHYLA SHEHAN is a poetry editor for Magpie. She is an analytical Virgo from Iowa who rewrites her bio every week. From the smorgasbord of life, she selected motherhood (of humans and cats), bike riding, woolgathering, and writing. Though she often feels that writing chose her. Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in The Pinch, New York Quarterly, Moon City Review, Drunk Monkeys, and elsewhere, and she has flash essays in Nelle and Write or Die Magazine. 

This week, she is splitting her time between managing a healthy household, curating a nonprofit journal, The Good Life Review, and planning her escape. She would also love to read some poems that will surprise her or make her laugh-cry and hopes you will send some her way.
