Ginny Short
About.
GINNY SHORT (she/her) can usually be found writing—when she is not examining flowers with a close-up lens, or watching how the scales on a lizard’s back glint in the sun. Writing is a passion that comes from her love of the natural world and has always been her saving grace. “I can’t think of how many times a line from a poem or story would run through my mind during a particularly difficult time, a hot air balloon that helped to lift me, my mind, my heart to a place where I could see the rapids I was caught in. Writing frames a path within that leads from the landscape of the world to the poetry of grace, places I find heartbreakingly beautiful and stunningly brutal. A place where hot air balloons are always needed!” She loves reading, writing, photography and playing with her abundant menagerie, all of whom are rescue animals.
