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.
