Welcome to Maya Shedd’s Temple: Literary Home of Linda Sue Grimes
My literary home is a place where my creative writing efforts reside. My first love in life was music and poetry, both of which I have pursued in fits and starts for many decades. In addition to songs and poems, I write essays featuring commentaries on poems, and about history, philosophy, politics, and spirituality. I also create vegetarian/vegan recipes.
Thank you for visiting!
