Skye Blaine writes short essays, memoir, fiction, and poetry, developing themes of aging, coming of age, disability, and most of all, the process of unlearning-the heart of the matter. In 2003, she received an MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University. Her memoir manuscript, now titled Bound to Love, won first prize in the Pacific Northwest Writers Association literary contest in 2005. She has had personal essays published in six anthologies, and in national magazines: "In Context" (now known as "Yes!" magazine) and "Catalyst." Other personal essays have been published in the "Register-Guard" newspaper, and the "Eugene Weekly." Skye also presented radio essays on KRML 1410 AM in Carmel, CA.
