I am a nationally published poet with poems in such magazines as Chrysanthemum Literary Anthology, Blaze Vox, Big Windows Review, and The Jewish Women’s Literary Annual. I have five books of poems in print including a chapbook, "The Cliff Edge", and a full length book, "Vision of Lucha" about struggle and survival, love, death, and family. Recently I published a chapbook, "In a Closet." I live in Northern Virginia and am retired after teaching English as a Second Language.

“Sometimes it’s best to be a little deaf.”(Ruth Bader Ginsburg) You cough in your sleep and curse. I try to listen to you, but can’t. You praise me; you scold me, or worse. I’ve grown accustomed to your rants. I try to listen to you, but can’t. Sometimes it’s best to be a little deaf. I’ve grown accustomed to your rants. Despite your complaints I have not left. Sometimes it’s best to be a little deaf. The truth is I love you And despite your complaints I have not left. No matter what you do The truth is I love you You cough in your sleep and curse. No matter what you do Even praise me, scold me, or worse. The Day It Rained Father used to scare me, a crack in the sky. Rain comes down hard, like an eagle for its kill. Nobody wants to drive in this. It’s Dad’s 95th, so we go. I am going to see father, ancient man still blazing. Someday I will ache for him.
