Abstract
The poems are intentionally accessible and holding at their core observations or
concerns that are meant to be meaningful to the reader. Topics are drawn from an
experienced life; work in corporate America, the domestic life of a mature family, the
experiences in a small town community. The author tends to explore the nature of our
temporal existence and the social norms of belonging.
The work is written in a narrative free verse style often utilizing the second person to
deliver a more quirky feel. The writer is simultaneously learning her own lessons in form
and meter while delivering to the reader a diversity of experiences. In this work each
poem stands as an original event.
