Nora Snyder, Poet & Curator
Welcome!
This is the home for both
Illuminous Flux (poetry & literary events)
and
Glimmer Frolic (vintage home goods & clothing).
These two ventures dovetail beautifully as they both seek to offer shape, story, and sustainability to our world. If you find yourself seeking a slower pace, a lighter outlook, something to savor, a bigger picture, an imperfect perfect- you have come to the right place.

This is an open mic performance at The Hitching Post in Bisbee toward the end of May. It was very special having my friends and family (especially my parents!) attend. The piece is called Cardinals and Apple Trees and I wrote it for this event (although I'm sure you will get to see it in a publication soon). Thank you to mom for creating this video and sharing this memory with me. I thought about editing out the billiards noise but I feel it adds to the ambience.

Her work is diverse in topic, but is often image rich and heart forward free-verse serving to elevate the human experience while knitting in lots of interesting connections and humor.
Nora has participated in many events, readings, workshops, and open mics in her former home on the middle finger of the Finger Lakes in Ithaca NY and now in her new desert town of Sierra Vista, Arizona.
Two chapbooks of Snyder’s work, The Bee, the Bear, and the Blossom and Spilling Pools of Light, are available on Amazon and her website illuminousflux.com.
Her work has been published in numerous literary journals including Cajun Mutt Press and Blue Heron Review.

Her creative influences include Frida Kahlo, Strega Nona, and Ray Bradbury (resilience, abundance, and joy respectively).
Ms. Snyder is settled among the succulents in the high desert, taking her place among three generations of women in her family, her love of 27 years, some sweet fledglings, and lots of furbabies.
