Lindsey Wayland is a poet, calligrapher, and researcher whose work is informed by everydayness, psychology, dream symbolism. Largely quiet, her work connects people to their community through the written word.
Wayland has followed her practice to projects like writing 10,000 anonymous letters, accessing mindfulness through blind contour drawings with adolescents in residential treatment, writing a letter to LeBron James, and since 2002, recording the last line from every poetry book she’s checked out from the library.
She is a long-time student of Zen Buddhism. Her poetry has been published in Southern Humanities Review and Bellevue Literary Review. She is the chair of the Arts Commission
