Regan Burke

Regan Burke is an old Chicago hippie, retired political organizer, recovered alcoholic, and a compulsive writer. She dreams up ideas for Skyline Village Chicago, sings in the Good Memories Choir, leads a meditation group, and organizes neighborhood sing-alongs. When a physician prescribed expressive writing for chronic pain in 2014, Regan started writing and has been at it ever since. Writing teachers prompt her to produce 500 words of edited prose each week which she posts to a personal blog, backstoryessays.com. Regan’s work has appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, Sun Magazine, Chicago History Museum/In This Together, City Creatures, Safe ‘n Sound, Easter Seals Blog, Writing Out Loud, The Center for Life & Learning Anthology, and Rise Up! Journal.
