 Meg Hutchinson was raised by English teachers in a small town outside of Great Barrington, Massachusetts called South Egremont.Growing up in the Berkshires, the mountains, woods and ponds were her childhood muses, as were poets she read (like Mary Oliver, Robert Frost and William Butler Yeats), and the songwriters she listened to (like Greg Brown and Joni Mitchell).When she inherited her grandmother's 1957 Martin guitar at age eleven, her love of words found an inspiring instrument.
