Since my return to Savannah in 2021, I’ve missed my poetry community in North Carolina but the Learning Center of Senior Citizens, Inc. has offered a few outlets.  

 My actual birthplace is Lancaster, South Carolina, a town I left before the age of one. I’ve spent more years of my life in Georgia than anywhere else. But North Carolina, specifically western North Carolina, is where the poet Anne was born. 

I’m happy to report that the April 17  book launch was a success in both attendance and book sales.

April is National Poetry Month in the United States. This designation was initiated in April 1996 by the American Academy of Poets. It is now claimed to be the largest literary celebration in the world with millions of students, librarians, booksellers, publishers, attendees at literary events and, of course, poets taking part.

For many years, law was my career. Overlapping with law, motherhood was my greatest responsibility and joy. Work, as lawyer and later, administrative judge, ended quite neatly with retirement in 2005. Both daughters were, by then, independent adults. Happily, I found poetry. 

Welcome to my website.  Thank you for visiting.  I plan to post from time to time mostly about poetry. I’ll share thoughts about poets and poems and also about my own efforts as reader and writer of poems.  Poetry has showered me with joy.  My hope is that joy will be contagious.
