Stacey Murphy loves writing and encouraging other writers. In 2018, she joined the editor board of Cayuga Lake Books and organized an Ithaca group to participate in the international day of poetry through 100 Thousand Poets for Change. In 2017 she co-edited and contributed to NY Votes for Women: A Suffrage Centennial Anthology, a collection about women gaining the right to vote in New York State and more recent feminist concerns. Murphy's haiku appear in the 2016 anthology Wild Voices by Wildflower Poetry Press, and her poems are in a number of print journals and online sites including The Avocet, Painted Parrot, and Gratefulness.org. She enjoys life with those dear to her and the abundant natural inspiration of the Finger Lakes. - staceymurphy.blog
