The Great Gatsby has always intrigued me. Jay and Daisy show the collusion we all enter into when we work our way into relationships. We fight over things we have already agreed to ignore.

Inspiration is everywhere. I never know when I will actually hear a poem in my head. I carry my phone at all times so I use my notes page to capture the words. I also journal about nearly everything, including the books I read.

I have a volume of poems about many of the dances I have made. I have used the rhythms and impressions of those dances to give them voice in a new form. Look for The Voice of Dsnce in 2015!
I am also rewriting poems I wrote for and with my husband. Then, there are a few poems that come randomly that are primarily about human attributes, like bravery or fear, these are incomplete right now. I am not sure where they will go???

Observe more than you write. You have two eyes, two ears and only one mouth. Use them in that proportion. See and hear twice as much as you say, the speak your truth without judgement.

Writing is an art so collaborations with others is a great gift, even my husband gets in on the game. You give me 2 lines, I will return 3. The other artists I work with give me great joy. So far all of my work is fully illustrated. I love the serendipity of these collaborations.

I really don't deal with writers block! I need to quiet my mind to let the ideas flow so I walk, swim , practice yoga, play piano, or garden. Sometimes, I just rewrite old stuff.
