She studied poetry under Julia Kasdorf and many other poets. She once she had the honor of handing poetess, Marilyn Nelson, a glass of water after a reading. And the best-viewed item on her poetry blog is her interview with former Poet Laureate, Juan Felipe Herrera, about keeping your poems warm. She has been published internationally in journals like Naugatuck River Review and arc24. She credits much of her creative work from her research on the creative writing process that won her the 2014 Ernest Hartmann award from the International Association for the Study of Dreams from Berkeley CA. Find her poetry books “Kinlight” and “Tea with Alice” on Amazon, and an upcoming 2020 release “Puss ‘N Böotes: Dark Poems.
