What is my style? I am an Imagist. My topics are very specific, and my use of symbolism within the poem makes a statement, whether personal or social. I love to experiment with different techniques and poetic formats, for I enjoy switching from rhyme to free verse. I find the practice mentally stimulating and creatively refreshing. When I write, the topic determines the style, and the tone compliments the topic.

What poetic form is my favorite? I love the fluidity of a villanelle. So fun! Its musical qualities make it a perfect style for a poem's quiet musings.

Oddest function for my writing: I have become the “go to” person to give a eulogy at family funerals. My first published work, “Madeleine Bassett,” was a eulogy for my grandmother that was published in an Alzheimer’s newsletter.
