Happy Mother's Day

 

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have mothered in any way. My wish is that in the burgeoning #MeToo Movement that “mothering” gets as much respect as all the other issues we are fighting for.

Announcement! Announcement!

I am excited. Everyday Mermaid, our poetry art book, is now available online.

The digital landscape brings both a magical luminesce and a closer look at the tactile cut, layered, and stitched fabric art cradling the poems. The book is now available online and as a digital download through a thousand flowers®.  The synergy of these different viewing options creates a new exploratory artwork.

This is our way of celebrating April’s National Poetry Month.

Post Insurrection Poem

 

a little at sea
is me
as I sit
in this gorgeous
sonoma day—
wittering birds
sun shining trees
slight breeze—
coming down
slowly from
hard days
past.
worrying—a loose noose
‘round my neck
while letting in
nature’s gift
slow    ly
oh.
the sea
is me.
