Lyn White lives in Maidstone, Kent and for the past four years has worked, on a voluntary basis, as librarian in the Guest Library at the 13th century Carmelite Priory in  Aylesford which is home to a community of mendicant friars.  Sometimes, surrounded by 800 year old wood and stone, looking through tiny windows at the river flowing by, she can hardly believe her luck.

Lyn’s work has appeared in a variety of magazines including Equinox, Orbis, Smiths Knoll and South as well as in several anthologies, The Ticking Crocodile, My Mother Threw Knives and Piety and Plum Porridge.  She belongs to a poetry group that meets regularly at the University of Kent and in 2004 the group produced their own anthology, Circled Like a Target.  Lyn has read at various locations, Newcastle, Canterbury, Whitstable and Bournemouth.  Her passions are history and literature.  She is currently working on a collection of her poems.
