Zellie Quinn first discovered she wrote poetry in the early 1980’s in Germany while in the Military.  She found that if she flipped over the pages of important documents, the back side was a handy place to quickly write the soldier poems welling up in her.  Of course when fellow soldiers began taking her poems, she learned that this was a bad thing, since during inspections missing pages on documents are not a good thing.  Afterwards she obtained a degree in English, with an Emphasis on Creative Writing.  She now lives in the Chicagoland area, with her husband and 5 children.
