Lloyd Milburn has taught composition and creative writing for over fifteen years in the Rochester, New York area. He earned an MA in English/creative writing with poet William Heyen’s advisement. In addition to having work published in Permafrost, Willow Review, Ithaca Lit, The Sandy River Review, and Talking River Review, he is currently nearing completion of his first two books of poetry. His lifelong love for music and a personal interest in synesthesia inform his writing, and he has lectured on the subject at RIT where he designed and taught the course "Synesthesia and Music."
Milburn contributed two poems — "Chromonema Music" and "At Half Staff" — to Volume 4:2. Below is an excerpt from the former:
That's why clips of Judy Garland still pull
at certain strings, like my zither's highest wires
always out of tune with the fat ones,
but the high strings were impossible to adjust,
the frame not strong enough to hold them.
