My favorite poem is Every Time I Climb A Tree, because I spent my summers hidden in the leaves of our River Poplar, high up with the rooftops, TV antennas, birds and insects that busied themselves.

I have a Master's in Education and was an elementary and social studies teacher as well as a media-librarian. I am also a mother of three, with two cats and one border collie who herds our chickens. My kids however, have flown the coop.
