Heather M. F. Lyke is a queer writer from the southeast corner of Minnesota who now lives in the Twin Cities metro area. By day, Lyke works in the world of K-12 education. On evenings and weekends, she creates. She builds things out of nothing: sometimes with paint, occasionally with fabric, but most often with words. Her published nonfiction focuses on teaching and learning; however, most of her work is poetry, which often stems from real experiences anchored by emotional authenticity.

Aside from writing, Lyke is best known for saying 'yes' to far too many things, underestimating how long projects will actually take to complete, and communicating in metaphor. Her poetry can be found on this website, published in various literary magazines, and on the wall of one Minnesota tattoo parlor.
