My husband, Shaw and I, Bucks County, PA natives, moved from our home to Dallas, TX from Philadelphia in 1960 and returned eastward via Kankakee, Il, Dayton, Ohio, Cleveland, and then settled in Atlanta, GA. In 1987, we moved to Daytona Beach, FL for an offer too good to refuse. That’s when I began to write books.

We traveled all over the world for 30 years playing duplicate bridge, whenever possible, and always reading. I volunteered in nursing homes in three states. In Florida I joined a hospice team as a bereavement co-facilitator. Many stories, circumstances and rural and foreign accents inspire my novels and short stories.

A DEFINITION OF HOME

TID "BYTES":

Home is not just our current address or our temporary sanctuary.
Home is where we feel safe to go to sleep,
a place where we are cherished and understood;
a place where we can turn off our brains and let down our defenses.

It is not where we live, but the sum of how we live;
where the accent falls trippingly into our ears,
where the seasons orient us and make us feel safe.

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
