Artist Statement

Poet, teacher, story collector.  

I love collecting snippets of stories and creating snapshots of experience.  During the pandemic, I revisited some draft poems that I had written about women.  They still very much resonated with me, and so I set about writing a little collection, which has been long in the making!

The poems are a reflection of the often complex and unpredictable situations women can find themselves in.  They are all true experiences and are written without judgement.  I hope that I have also shown strength and varying degrees of resolution for the women within the collection.
