About Me

I am a full-time parent of two very engaging and inquisitive children, whom I am currently homeschooling. However, I'm looking forward to going back to teaching in the classroom as I did before and having my children in a great public school! I've spent the past ten years writing and getting some poetry published, plus being a mom for nine of those ten. Previously, I was an editor/copy editor/proofreader in textbook publishing for many years and was nominated for The International Who's Who of Women in 1995.

My Interests

I love doing research on any topic that inspires me, usually the earth sciences and astronomy, Einstein's theories, and I love Brian Greene's book, THE ELEGANT UNIVERSE. I have Howard Smith's LET THERE BE LIGHT on my bookshelf, but that's after I'm done with the first book mentioned! I also love and am inspired by Asian poetry: Chinese, from the Tang Dynasty, and Korean sijo, which I learned about from my Korean friend, Jeong. Last but not least, I love music and strive to make my poems sing from within.

Who Is The Greatest Mystical Poet Of The English Language, Living Or Dead?

I'm asking "of the English language" because too many people will answer with "Rumi" for mystical poets, and "living or dead" because I'm curious about poets that are still writing today.
