Bio for 2018
Misty Skaggs is an author, artist, activist and part-time hermit from the east Kentucky backwoods. Lexington is about as close as she'll venture to city lights.
Her first poetry chapbook, Biscuits and Blisters, will be coming out soon from Workhorse!
Skaggs' ain't too good for her raising or for shameless self promotion. Her other interests include stinky junk stores, stray cats and making rich people uncomfortable.
Reason for signing up:
I signed up so i can indulge in some virtual people watching, binge on poetry and convince the good folks of Lexington to purchase my first poetry chapbook, Biscuits and Blisters! coming out soon from Workhorse.
