I am a former magazine editor-writer who specialized in home design. In my retirement, I began writing poetry and taking workshops at the 92nd Street Y, near my home in New York City; I am a member of the Y's senior poetry group, which meets weekly. My poems have been published in a variety of journals (print and online) and anthologies. Finishing Line Press has published three chapbooks: intimate geographies; natural causes; and crescendo|decrescendo. I am widowed, with two sons - one married - and two grandchildren.
