Name:
Location: Ontario, Canada

Interested in all things poetic. I have been fortunate in my life to travel to many places around the globe: Asia, Europe, North America, Britain. I started writing poetry as in high school, left it behind to enter the workforce, and resumed during a life transition from married to single. It seems the muse takes hold whenever I am in a transitional phase of my life. Poetry is a way to express my thoughts and understand the emotions these times generate. Here I am again, now a widow, re-inventing my life, the poetry rising again. This time, I want to take it seriously, see how far I can go with it. I am a member of the Ontario Poetry Society, the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Authors Association, The League of Canadian Poets and Arts Carleton Place, but have not given up my day job.

Time for an update!

Well, what a dreadfully long time between posts! I have successfully completed my course, and a second one as well! Now on the third course with CFP this time. I have been doing a few more readings in Ottawa, MacDonalds Corners and Carleton Place. And, I have been writing a monthly article for our local paper on the happenings of Arts Carleton Place. Have written as much this last while as in the previous 10 years I think. And thinking seriously about a plan of attack for publishing. Friends are encouraging. I have joined a Writers' Circle and the CAA. Why did I wait so long to do these things?
