Loss figures into our lives in a wide arc: change of seasons, migration, coming of age, physical and emotional changes, death of a loved one, loss of a sense of safety. Each shift has effects we recognize, resist, must learn to bear or cherish or be defeated by. These poems muse over what triggers memories, remind us of nature’s role in life’s balance, catalogue the random ties between past and present that weave our lives into whole cloth.
As a literary gypsy I have been: Poet-in-Residence at Montpelier Cultural Arts Center in Laurel, MD; taught at universities in the United States, Sweden and Norway; taught creative and autobiography writing workshops; create and facilitate veterans’ reading and discussion series originated by Maryland Humanities, in libraries and cultural centers. I have a Masters and Ph.D. from the University of Maryland College Park where I was a Master Teacher and Assistant Director of Freshman English. My poems can be found in Trajectory, Connecticut Review, Evening Street Press, Gyroscope, Kerf, Vesper I, For Ukraine from Women of the World, Farmer-ish. Originally a Midwesterner, I now live and work in Maryland near Atlantic shores and beaches which I love. My house is FULL of driftwood, shells, and rocks…..Maryland to Maine!!
