Reflections of a Moonwatcher

This diverse collection of poems spans some seventy years. I have always written poetry scribbling on whatever paper was on hand. Some of these early tomes have been lost; some of them should have been lost. For better or worse I have gathered old and new in this my last book Here in these poems my life is exposed-- my memories and my words my thoughts of joy and sadness regrets and victories are all mixed up in time and places. Most memories have traveled with me through a happy childhood a happy marriage a happy motherhood. These reflections of quiet yesterdays of hours just being still of soaking up Paris for six Julys of letting time run through me of looking for moonlight on the Gulf looking for me. Such things have been my life but for you I hope you find treasures of laughter and love on every page.
