 First snow – a chapbook

by Lynda McKinney Lambert

30 Wintry-Themed Poems –

 

In this new collection of thirty wintry-themed poems, Lynda shares her insight into the beautiful serenity and colors of nature in a way that others seldom see.  Her ability to articulate the unseen qualities of an entire season is remarkable.

The vitality of the seasons is still felt, seen, and heard. Lambert notices the colors and sounds that surround us. 

~Russell Streur, editor Plum Tree Tavern and author of Fault Zones.

Concerti: Psalms for the Pilgrimage

By Lynda Lambert

Published by Kota press, January 1, 2002

Out of Print – but Amazon usually has copies by private book sellers.

Lynda has a few that she will sign and send to you if you request that.  contact:  riverwoman@zoominternet.net

This is Lynda’s first published collection. Here, she develops her subject matter that is the core of her writings for the years that follow.

Her predominant themes are:

Nature – Landscape

Place – Journey

Physical & Spiritual Mystery

 

While her poems begin with keen descriptions of a place, she then moves the reader into a sense of mystery through her powerful reflections and insistent music. Always there is the notion of both a physical and spiritual journey, a pilgrimage.

Following graduation from WVU, she traveled to Austria, Czech Republic, Italy  and Germany. She enjoyed a month-long drawing course offered by Slippery Rock University of PA at this time.

She decided that she would create a program and teach  drawing and writing in Europe during future summers.

She returned to the US and accepted a position in California where she was a college Grants Specialist from 1991 – 1993. During this time Lynda was working on her MA degree in English at Slippery Rock University of PA.  See more

Lynda  worked on this degree from 1989 through 1994. Lynda’s passion is Poetry. Her final research project for the MA degree was on the poetry of 3 poets (John Donne,  William Carlos Williams,Robert Bly).

On Lynda’s  days off from museum management, she painted and created wood-cut prints in her studio.  After working during the days at the museum, she worked in her studio each night from 9pm to midnight, crating work that was exhibited world-wide and nationally.

Lynda served as Executive Director at the Hoyt until the fall of 1996. She accepted a tenure track position at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, PA.

Teaching fine art and humanities  was a life-long dream for Lynda.

Her desire was to teach at the college level where she could help students who wanted to pursue the fine arts,English, or Humanities.

After she began her work a Geneva College, she was able to honor her promise to spend her summers in Europe and to take students on month-long drawing and writing programs each year. Her first course with students was the summer of 1998. This was 7 years after she vowed to do this to help others have an experience to travel and study internationally.  Lynda  continued this program until l her retirement in the fall of 2008.

During the yearly semesters at the Geneva campus, she taught courses in Humanities, advanced studies in literature, and studio courses in various genres. She also participated in teaching experiences each spring in Arizona and Puerto Rico.

Lynda is an advocate for international studies for students of all levels in education.

Lynda’s first book is Concerti: Psalms for the Pilgrimage.

Her first book was published as her  tenure project. In addition to writing this book, Lynda  created an exhibition of art works completed during her summer in Europe.

The exhibition, TRUNK SHOW,  traveled across the US to galleries and museums for 3 years.

 

Retirement in 2008, gave Lynda the opportunity to continue her art and writing projects full-time. Since retirement in 2008, she has published 5 books of poetry and non-fiction essays.
