In the Garden of Life and Death

Kimberlyn Blum-Hyclak, a transplanted Buckeye, grew up next to a neighbor's garden of zinnias, hollyhocks, and sweet peas - not the kind you eat but the kind that smell heavenly. She lives in Lancaster, SC, holding that garden in her heart and wishing her thumbs were green enough to grow it. Her work has appeared in Iodine, Kakalak, Petigrue Review, Catfish Stew, and moonShine reveiw, among others. You can find more of her writing at www.awriterswindow@wordpress.com.
