My haiku that appears in Modern Haiku, Vol. 48.1 Winter-Spring 2017.

I will be reading from my memoirs, Falling Up The Stairs, and Moving Out Of The Frame, at Why There Are Words, Studio 333, 333 Caledonia, Sausalito on Thursday, April 13, 7 P.M. Save the date.

My newest manuscript is seeking a publisher. The Season of Dying is a 53-page poetry memoir.  The theme was my late husband’s plea for death with dignity when he was in hospice for terminal pancreatic cancer.

I need a multitasking ninja who can handle: packing, framing, hanging, photography, and computer support on a Mac, (inventory and communications). The ideal candidate will be good at written and verbal communication.
