| I am a former classical pianist and university instructor (University of Michigan). Went back to school and got a Master's in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Currently working as Mental Health Specialist at St John Medical Center in Longview, WA I have been writing poetry since I was about age 14. I usually write when life is hard, sad, difficult, or something troubles me. I often use poetry to work out personal difficulties or celebrate wonderful new insights. |
