For years she wrote and edited numerous regional newsletters, much dog humor, and has had poems published in The Southern Poetry Review, the Naugatuck River Review, Cedar Rock, Crucible, and others. Her poem “Tintype” was recently nominated for a Pushcart Prize. She has participated in many WordArt and Spoken Word events.
