“Every poem holds
within it the unsayable.”
Marie Howe
WELCOME TO
MY WORLD
Mine is a world of writing, a writing life. I am blessed with a loving husband and children, loyal friends, and many other factors that make for a rich and rewarding life. Still, writing is a part of every day for me and some days are devoted entirely to it. I write, revise, plan, and conduct workshops and classes, meet with writer friends, and occasionally submit my work for publication. At some point every day I am flummoxed and frustrated by writing, and at other moments I experience profound joy. I love using language, playing with it, putting words together to express the absolute absurdity along with the unmitigated certainty of our experience.
