Terrie Meerschaert writes poetry and prose under her author pen name Teesa Mee. Born and raised in Southwest Detroit and lived there until I married Gary, in 1979. Unable to have children, we adopted our son Nate through Toledo, OH Catholic Social Services in 1984. In 1986, I won the “Missing Case of Miller Light” hidden in Detroit. The $10,000 prize gave us the means to adopt our daughter Suzanne from Seoul, South Korea in 1987. In addition to contributing to the anthologies This Beautiful Escape, Warrior Women Poetry, and Detours in Our Destinations, I have published a book of poetry, Looking Back: Poems from My Adolescent Self, Thesaurus Erotica, and soon publishing Word Stew. I am honored that she read and listened to my poetry book, Home, and posted this review:

T. Meerschaert5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful tribute with poetry and proseReviewed in the United States on September 28, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI listened to the virtual voice version of Home. Ms Poznansky's father's poetry is beautiful and haunting. Her own prose is like stepping into word pictures. I really enjoyed the book. While the virtual voice for her father was a little distracting a with its Irish accent, but the voice for Ms Pozansky was perfect.
