My poetry arises out of images, some of which I carry in my head for years before developing poems from them. I find gestures, "little episodes," and glimpses as starting points for writing and feel that little poems are meant to be shared. There's a freedom to be oneself in writing and sometimes a daring in sharing...a way out of the roles that come with living for a a long time. So every so often I have something to say, something to share.
