Lyndsay Rush

Lyndsay Rush is a comedy writer, copywriter, and poet who runs a creative agency called Obedient. Her friends call her ‘a bit much', her fans call her Mary Oliver’s Drunk Cousin, and Spam Risk calls her at least thrice a week (obsessed much?). Lyndsay’s work has been featured in Reductress, McSweeney’s, NY Mag, and The New York Times and her poetry took on a life of its own in the year of our lord 2022 when her instagram account @maryoliversdrunkcousin grew to over 80K followers and over half a million likes in a single year (among them, Melanie Griffith, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jen Hatmaker, Kate Baer, Sophia Bush, Arielle Estoria, and T.J. Maxx—no biggie). She spent most of her adult life freezing in Chicago, but currently swelters in Nashville with her husband, Caleb, son Dawson and pup, Puffin Dorito. She spends most of her free time doing elaborate nail art and all of her disposable income on fancy restaurants and chips (she contains multitudes). You can follow her poetry on instagram @maryoliversdrunkcousin, her business at www.obedientgency.com and her personal shenanigans @rushbomb on Twitter and Instagram and against her millennial will, TikTok.
