Born and raised in Washington State, Cynthia has enjoyed a lifelong love affair with rain, sun, wind, trees, rivers, lakes, mountains, and the vast waters of the Puget Sound. When not writing, taking photos of birds, flowers or sunsets, or throwing herself into her work at King County government, Cynthia can be found in conversation, celebration and presence with her son Gabe, family, and friends. Cynthia has self-published two collections of poetry and is working on a third. She has twice completed the full Poetry Marathon, in 2019 and 2020, and looks forward to it each year. One of her favorite things about the Poetry Marathon is reading the work of other poets, so she\u2019s really looking forward to editing this year\u2019s anthology.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-86360 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/headshot-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/headshot-2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/headshot-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/headshot-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/headshot-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/headshot-2-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The editor for the 2021 Poetry Marathon Anthology has now been chosen.
