University of Alaska 2023 Featured Writer of the Year Southeast Alaska

Tidal Echoes Literary & Arts Journal 2023 honored Lin

In 2015, Lin returned to the classroom as a student of creative writing. (Alaskans over 65 can take courses free at the University of Alaska.)  Writing skills learned at Wooster and love of poetry via Professor Raymond McCall and Miss Mateer gave Lin a lyrical way to share her LGBTQ experiences. The 2023 Tidal Echoes Journal featured two queer artists, Chloey Klaak Shaa Cavanaugh, and 80 year-old Lin, proud to share her “Pantoum for Pulse Orlando.” Among other poems, the journal includes her piece about working at Chicago’s Beacon Neighborhood House with a team of Wooster students and Rev. Ray Day.
