Taylor Stoneman

Taylor was born and raised in the desert of Arizona and now lives in Northern California, relishing the roiling coast and towering redwoods. She is a lawyer by day and creative by night. As the pandemic cast its long shadow over our lives, she turned to poetry and painting for solace. Now her soft edges are spilling over, as she draws inspiration from her experiences as a woman and from the natural world around her. Her poems touch on vulnerabilities of her past, present and future, as well as frustrations with the facades and false choices that society presents to us. Her poems have been featured in Rue Scribe, The Dillydoun Review, Haunted Waters Press, and Plants & Poetry Journal.
