Genevieve Smith is a writer, artist, and 2019 graduate of Lake Superior State University's School of Arts & Letters. She writes predominantly about the past and has previously published work in Clarion and the Midwest Review. Her greatest inspirations besides life itself include Robert Benchley, Boo Radley, the lives of her grandfathers, and the lavish lore of the Algonquin Round Table. Genevieve grew up in a small Michigan town whose Finnish name means “Land of the Cardamom Bread” and she spends her spare moments writing (naturally), reading, and drawing.
