I have written for over 40 years. As a retired Interfaith Minister, I had the honor of working in the death and dying field and now live in Mexico after 40 years in Northern California. Writing is my primary interface into the world. In the past, I have received a California Arts Council Grant to establish a rural poetry series; co-published a small regional arts journal, and was a partner in Straight Talk Distributing, an independent alternative political literature distribution service. My poems have been included in The MacGuffin, Calyx, “Songs to the Sunâ€, anthology, and soon to be publish “Poetry is a Mountainâ€, anthology.
My work speaks of old women, hate and fear, the Beloved, and the profound daily life of the natural world and people around me. My intention is to share whatever perspective and wisdom I’ve gained over the decades, and participate in breaking open the world into new possibilities. My main life focus is aging with grace, breathing and writing.
