My journey into writing poetry began three years ago after I began facilitating a support group. Soon I felt the need to express the different voices coming from different places, some expressing pain, anxiety, guilt, grief and sometimes even humor and joy. The result was free verse poetry, which may seem unusual when you consider my business background. Now retired, I enjoy the opportunity to employ my liberal arts college education along with my advertising, teaching and consulting experience in verse form.
