Writing poetry has been a challenging and fulfilling journey. As I arrange my thoughts, observations and feelings in a concentrated way, a new form of expression emerges and my soul is fed. I began writing poems many years ago and a lifelong learning process began that continues today. I hope my perspective on life, living and dying will engage the reader and encourage speculation about what is illusion and what, if anything, is not. My external life has been that of wife, mother, grandmother, feminist and community servant. My professional life has been in the fields of advertising, education and as a grant writer and non-profit program administrator. But my internal life has been a life of poetry. This book is my poem for you.
