I grew up in a small town in New England many years ago. Now I live in San Francisco where I can see ocean between the trees, and I walk around the city adding to my map of the best places to pick blackberries, in vacant lots and corners of parks. My long career as the CEO of a social justice and healthcare non-profit transitioned to poetry in 2017. Poetry encourages me to laugh, reflect, and take action.
My debut book of poetry, INNER SUNSET, was published in May, 2019 by Blue Light Press. My second book, CLOUDBREAK, was published in June, 2021 by Poetic Matrix Press, and my third, ALL IN MEASURE, was published in January, 2023 by Blue Light Press. You can also find my poems in journals and anthologies including the newest SEASON LIGHTLY WITH SALT, October, 2024 by Raven and Wren Press. My writing group’s poems and recipes.
