About Lorri Devlin
Photography courtesy of Steve Devlin.
I grew up in Massachusetts, where my family summered on Buzzards Bay, a windswept shore on the west facing coast of Cape Cod. I enjoyed a childhood spent largely as a barefoot, unsupervised urchin. My early training as a feral creature undifferentiated from nature provided my foundation as a writer.
Like my mentors, Maeve Binchy, Kent Haruf and Mary Oliver, my preferred backdrop is rural settings where average people live, work and struggle to find what is right and good. The search for meaning in an entropic existence and the poignant way-points along that path lie at the core of my work.
My poetry's been published in Points East, Youth Magazine, and Mom Lit Writers Magazine. I'm the author of Cape Cod Critters—A Fun Look at Cape Cod Wildlife (2012), The Bird Who Wanted to Be a Frog (2014), The Reluctant Medium—Reclaiming the Power of Women's Intuition (2017) and a poetry chapbook, Submerged Voices (2017). My books are available on Amazon.com and other retail outlets.
I write women's fiction, a difficult to publish but rewarding pursuit. I have one husband and too many dogs. I like wild animals, tequila, and salt marshes. you'd like to know more, please click Follow in the left menu.
