Loryn’s poems have gotten quite a bit of interest from parents on Instagram. We were wondering how the online community affected how she wrote this poetry collection.“It was kind of interesting in that the response from people online wasn’t as big as the response to my comics. But I felt so happy with the work I didn’t mind at all. It felt like I had been circling poetry for so long and finally landed. I always wanted to write funny and also meaningful things to share, but I was never quite happy with my comics. Poetry has felt much more true to myself,” wrote Loryn.

Parenting today is different because of technology and social media. We asked Loryn to share how these modern changes show up in her poems, and what she wants other parents to take away from them.“In the book, there’s a poem called ‘Disconnected,’ which is about exactly this. It’s just part of being a modern parent trying to navigate how much or how little technology to use in your life. I would want parents to take away that whatever works best for you and your family is the right thing and not to be too hard on yourself.”
