About Me: I am a poet and composer living near Asheville, North Carolina, USA. I have two main interests- the natural world around me, which is reflected in my poetry blog, therootedearth.blogspot.com, and the heroic and innovative lives of women around the world, which is the focus of my newest poetry blog, isntitallofus.blogspot.com. In the blogs I include my poetry, photos and links to the many wonderful websites that are empowering women all over the world.
