coffee cup white heart in brown foam patternWelcome to my first official virtual home, though I’ve lived for five years as blogger at Feral Mom, Feral Writer, two years as poetry editor at The Fertile Source, and new this year, as part of an interview team at AROHO Speaks: Writer to Writer delving into the minds of women writers attending A Room of Her Own Foundation’s 2011 Summer Retreat.

My current projects feature collaborations in various forms and draw on poetry, myth, music, photography, sculpture, tarot, iconic women and dreams.

2012 also marks my decision to diverge from classroom teaching to venture into on-line venues, both at Story Circle Network (Beginning Transformative Blogging slated to start March 12, now accepting enrollment) and Mother, Writer, Mentor (To the Cradle and Beyond: Excavating and Writing the Poetry of Motherhood, slated to start February 27, 2012, still accepting enrollment). I will be posting here about recent adventures, publications, classes, and calls for collaboration.
