Lisa Sears
Lisa L. Sears is a fine artist who dipped her toes into the world of poetry in 2015 when she organized Lines Connecting Lines, a collaborative project between poets and artists. With the help of a grant from the Malden Cultural Council and enthusiastic backing of UMA, she worked with area artists and writers to produce an exhibit of visual art in response to submitted poems.
For the second Lines Connecting Lines in 2022, Lisa participated as a writer to experience the other side of the collaboration. It was immersive and fun--in no small part because of the wonderful writers she met. Those relationships and an open welcome from members in The Malden Writers’ Collaborative (TMWC) convinced her to write, something she had wanted to do for years. She joined the bi-monthly group, guided by Christopher Hickey, that fall. The generous writers of TMWC helped her to grow as a creative, learn more about the craft of writing, and manage to read aloud without passing out. That encouraging, non-judgmental vibe for writers extends to Controverse, and Lisa is grateful to have found her way here.
