Eye of the Beholder
The poems in EYE OF THE BEHOLDER are about the nature of perception-- how we view ourselves and others and how they view us and how we interact with each other and the world because of our perceptions.
Driving with my Blinker on
The poems in Driving With My Blinker On are about hopes, fears, dreams, aspirations, failures, disappointments, successes, human weaknesses and strengths, relationships, maturing, growing old, and facing life with courage and humor while driving with a "blinker on."
The female mystique, from childhood through maturity, is captured in the pages of Bread and Roses, Too. Among the book's themes are a woman's hopes, fears, frustrations, regrets, vulnerabilities, strengths, and victories. The book also covers a woman's never-ending struggle to accommodate men, friends, and family. The poetry is easy to read. It is written in a variety of styles, from traditional to free verse. Each poem captures one aspect of a woman's life. Female readers will recognize themselves and their friends in many of the poems, while male readers will recognize their female relatives and friends.
