Selected poems from previous & forthcoming collections together with Q&R apps on each page to enable audio rendition simultaneously with the written text
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
I consider myself a daughter of the states Georgia and Florida, Florida my father and Georgia my mother. I have lived in many different areas of both, so there is no one city that I call home.
Background
Information
My father created my interest in poetry; together we would make up rhymes and short poems off the top of our heads. He passed away just before my 13th birthday, which is when I started writing poetry in earnest. The only way I had to deal with the grief and pain of losing him. That was a very long time ago, but poetry is still my best friend and confidant.
