Bio
I am an artist, writer, photographer and dancer. I studied art and film as an undergrad at Berkeley, Journalism and Film at B.U. Outstanding graduate student, full scholarships through studies. My parents were an acting teacher with the actors studio in NY and a dancer with the first Balanchine company. I had tremendous exposure to the arts from the time I was a tot. Wrote and read at a very early age. Poetry is also a hobby as are children's books I illustrate and children's rhyming poetry. I worked as a writer at the Sunpost newspaper in Miami Beach for 3 years doing 2nd front page profiles of people in the arts and critiques on art, film, dance, and music. I photographed live music in the club scene and I also shoot a lot of different photographs, which I have also done professionally. I also worked at a post production editing house for 35 mm. film. I now paint glass, do collage, and write. I practice yoga and am knowledgeable about nutrition and health.

Tired of messing up
messing through,
missing in action
She is reacting
to time and rhyming
cohering and acquiescing
coalescing
She is messing
in action
reaction
with no satisfaction
trying to wise up
ease out
Let shouting stop
and cease fire
wiring herself
to eternity and what really matters

Just Todd and Rolf and Claudia and Tom and me

The day was sunny

Two Truths and one lie

 

I am a hippie even though I was born to late.  I am about freedom and love and equality and revolution, evolution.

Weighing in on Assisted Suicide

Assisted Suicide

 

In many cases, it seems like assisted suicide is the kindest thing to do.  My mother fell and broke her hip and then got pneumonia on her 82nd birthday.  She was in intensive care for a week and was then moved to a nursing home, then back toRead full post »

Riding on the Shoulders of the Moon

So we move into Earth Day

Life flows so fast

going everywhere and no particular place

I am riding on the shoulders

of the wind, moon, and rain

I am riding on the leaves and branches of a tree

 

I am taking someone some place

Poem for the Earth

Worth way

more than ever

before

I am among 

palm trees and

Don’t have the words

to describe

the sea

and sand

the fertile land

around

that sounds

so rich

and boldly

proud

 

I am just a dot

For the Sun does

Open call obituary

 

Well, that is a hard one.  Alicia Saxe, may she rest in love and peace, or may her light shine on.

 

How about, she won silence finally?  That might work.  Or, smell her flowers and know her fragrance and bottle it.

 

Or perhaps, an etchingRead full post »

Yesterday was a blessed day.  A long day, a strong, day, not a moment to waste day. A dazzled day, slightly frazzled day, a drenched rainy, insaney day.

Mom finally freed up

Building her sand castles out of clay

and pain

legally blind but not unseeing

freed from society's judgment

she unleashed the real woman

The tall, strong and honed one

The one who pirouetted and chaseed

right on the beat of the music

the one who let fly a spirit
