about this book: In Windfalls, my book of poetry, you will find 205 poems which have been carefully crafted, for the most part, in forms such as, sonnet, Soji, and others, all written in meter. Poetry no matter what form provides a window into the soul of the writer. It is pure thought, no extraneous description or words and I searched for exactly the right word in every poem.

Windfalls was my first prize winning poem and is first in this book. Many of the poems were written while my husband and I were in South Korea for a year teaching English.

The hardest part was deciding how to order the poems for publication, so they ended up in alphabetical order. The letters which divide them are an alphabet that I designed for a calligraphy class. The originals were done on 9 X 12 paper and were hand painted with gold gilding. I copied each letter and they appear in the book in full color.

It is my joy to share these poems with you.
