COLLECTED POEMS

An amazing collection of poetry by a brilliant, yet unknown, writer, at the top of her form.She attended Temple university in Philadelphia and began to write in the 1980's -- keeping her poems in small, hand-bound booklets. While her early poems were simple in form and sentiment, her later poems became more experimental and complex. Her efforts toward concision often meant stripping her sentences and lines to their most basic form. Also of note, she greatly experimented with the use of off-rhyme (near-rhyme). After having spent time in Paris in the late nineties, she moved back to Philadelphia and is currently living in some obscure neighborhood in an area humorously known at the Greater Northeast. You can book a tour on a Poetry Bus that stops at her home before going to the Poe House in Center City.
