Sunnylyn Thibodeaux
Sunnylyn Thibodeaux is the author of Universal Fall Precautions (Spuyten Duyvil, 2017), As Water Sounds (Bootstrap, 2014), and Palm to Pine (Bootstrap, 2011). She is also the author of over a dozen small books, including 20/20 Yielding (Blue Press), 88 Haiku for Lorca (Push Press), Against What Light (Ypolita), Room Service Calls (Lew Gallery Editions), and What’s Going On (Bird & Beckett). In 1999 she moved from Louisiana to the San Francisco Bay area to attend the now-defunct New College of California.
1999 was my first visit to San Francisco, to New College of California where I met Neeli Cherkovski, who then became my teacher in the Writing and Consciousness Program, and later became my friend through poetry.
