She describes her creative force within a mystical sense of her experiences ~ "With Poetry, I'm very mystified and inspired by the longing we humans experience. Our longing is perhaps what makes us creative for longing allows us to experience nature with a feeling of awe. Inspiration comes in the strangest of places. I carry around paper just about everywhere and in emergencies—I've been known to improvise—on a large maple leaf, using a stick for a pencil. Indeed. I didn't use the words that came to me that particular day, but I kept the leaf. It's like a little piece of art. I'm particularly attracted to themes of longing, awe, joy, anguish and love.

Her selected work ~
Although her style of writing tends to free-versed, she has written some rhymes which I have posted for this page as well. Where available, click on the Audio to listen to her rich, passionate voice.
You'll find that her poems are mystical and yet alluring - she has a way of drawing her readers into " the profound magic of simply being human."
Note: The beautiful male voice of the Spanish versions is recited by Jesús Ángel Morato— Morato holds a Masters in Communications for Education and has won the National Spanish prize award for his radio program: "Si no estás tú." He currently features one of her poems each month for his radio program as well at "Como un Torrente".
