I have been writing poetry for about five years, striving to create unusual but sensible imagery, with a focus on titillating the reader’s imagination and using ALL the tools of language - modern AND classic - to bring life to words and phrasings that tell a story, or ask a question. As poets, we have been given a gift to express life and love and beauty with language, and I take that responsibility seriously, and will continue to write for as long as it brings me joy to DO so. (I am in the process of publishing my first poetry collection, illustrated by my very talented artist sister). I hope you enjoy my work.
