My book of poetry is about Spiritual and Love poems. My spiritual poems are primarily about my family, and dealing with birth, loss and reincarnation. My love poems are about the love relationships I have had throughout the years, from a little girl to present. Also, being born in the south in the 50’s and moving to California when I was still fairly young, gave me insight to what segregation was about, which is reflected in a few of the poems. Quite a few of the poems are based on dreams I have had and others are about how I express my feelings about someone, or a particular situation.

I was born in Charleston, South Carolina in the 50’s when segregation was still prevalent. I understood firsthand about the injustice based on the color of your skin. A few of my poems are related to this subject, based on my feelings as a little girl. I started writing in 1980 after my last son was born. My first poem came to me in a dream and subsequent poems are either dreams I have had, personal experiences, or life events with my family.
