Nature poetry, children's fantasy and a novel about spiritual awakening form the body of my work. I am a professional caring clown, journal writing instructor and lecturer. For years, I have delighted in visiting the Florida Everglades and wetlands early in the morning. The sunrises, the early morning mists, the tropical plants, the birds and wildlife breathe life into my poetry. Together with photographers Carol Anne Ances and Ilene Sokol, we have created "Everglades Sunrise II" - You and your family can connect to nature with poems and photos that turn ospreys, owls, dragonflies and gators into rock stars. There are over 25 poems and color photos on every page. Learn how to read a nature poem out loud or compose a group poem with your kids or grandkids. Your purchase includes a donation to a Florida environmental organization. Come explore and be inspired by the Florida Everglades and wetlands!
