Mistress of Peace Promotion. Currently practicing Yoga and Qi Gong while writing, reading or sleeping. Fresh air needed at all times. Camera at the ready.
I work with writers to help them shape, bring clarity to and focus their work. I teach skills and strategies that are helpful for all writing genres, creative, academic, business, etc.
I write poetry, fiction, essays and am a former freelance book and film critic. All criticism has now been tossed off the nearest cliff.
My poetry has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and a California Book Award.
My most recent essay was published in the Smith Alumnae Quarterly.
My poems have been published in Essential Truths: The Bay Area in Color, The Lake County Bloom, Poem of the Day at The San Francisco Public Library, Wordpeace, and elsewhere.
I've been an Artist in Residence with the California Arts Council and have been awarded residencies at Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Vermont Studio Center, Hedgebrook, and the Writers on Site Program of Poets & Writers, Inc. sponsored by the James Irvine Foundation.
