A few years ago, I retired from a 34 year career in hospice counseling, at which time I began writing poetry. My poems are influenced by my patients’ journeys, the compelling beauty of nature, and the human condition. I enjoy getting lost in the woods, floral design, music, and jumping in puddles with my grandchildren. Baudelaire tells us to ‘be drunk’ on our passion every day of our lives. I am drunk on poetry and intend never to be sober. I live near the Jersey Shore with my husband and Bernese Mountain Dog, Dottie.
