This is a blog of my mother's poetry.
She passed away in 2007 at the age of 93, and had been living in Carmel, California since 1973.

Soul Music
The rugged real is hard to flee, But music soft soothes such as we. A scented pine, a trill of birds Can set our world more right than words And though fulfillment is our aim, It must unfold sometimes with pain.
I was born in Burbank, California in 1950. I was raised in southern California and southwestern Arizona, sometimes living in parts of the midwest and in Bethesda, Maryland.
I attended a small private school in downtown Hollywood, on Franklin Ave. and Highland. All the children were expected to write a hundred word composition every day and study a foreign language. I received one semester's creative writing credit for publishing my collection of poetry 1963-1967 by Artisen Press in Ashland, Oregon 1968.
I graduated Coronado High School, Arizona in 1969 and attended S.O.C. Ashland, Oregon.
I am currently working on an epic poem about the Lewis and Clark expedition and living in and around Portland, Oregon.
