Ginny Drake is a writer, poet, and artist from the Kansas City area. Her work explores liminality, folklore, and the simple art of living. Drawing inspiration from mythology, psychology, physics, and the unseen threads that connect everyday life to the extraordinary, her stories often blur the line between reality and myth. She holds an Associate's degree in Art, a bachelor's degree in Psychology, and a master's degree in Holistic Medicine. When she isn't writing, she can usually be found with her nose in a book, making art, crafting, wandering through folklore, studying physics, or happily disappearing down a research rabbit hole. Her work has appeared in Aporia and The Branch, and she is currently working on her first novel.
Words
The truth is not always beautiful.
But there's a beauty behind every truth.
A lie is not always hideous,
but there's a little ugly behind every deception.
No matter what you speak, all words have a certain power.
The same way madness can be freeing,
the lie might soothe a soul,
and the truth can bring you home.
