My Friend Claims Her Second Round of Cancer–poem

I am honored to have a poem recently published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA).  This poem took 6 years to arrive in its current form. It is inspired by my sister-in-law who died in 2014 of breast cancer. She’d beaten it once and had 7 years of remission before it came raging back. She was always optimistic, even days before her final breath.

In the Time of Virus–Part 2–Writing Workshop

I know we are all feeling anxious and uncertain. Unknowns are hard to deal with. In spite of this many people are still making art; some of it related to the Coronavirus.

I am still going to teach The Words to Say It: Writing & Reading about Illness, Trauma and Healing workshop through The Writers Workshoppe in Port Townsend but it will be done virtually through Zoom. There are still spaces available.

Stay safe, stay home, find your own creative expressions and enjoy some down time.

In the time of Virus

I know we are all feeling anxious and uncertain. Unknowns are hard to deal with. In spite of this many people are still making art; some of it related to the Coronavirus. This poem is my way of trying to hold disparate realities together.

Stay safe, stay home, find your own creative expressions and enjoy some down time.
