I’m thrilled (and a bit flurried) to share the news of my first poetry collection which will appear in early February, 2025.
These poems represent a journey of more than 25 years, written alongside my more public life as a book author, mother, wife, and teacher.
Just as there is no single way to pray, so there is no “best practice” for a creative soul, except to pay attention, love the questions, and embrace what shows up.
I have tried in these poems to give voice to women’s deep wisdom as we move through ordinary time – planting a garden, tending to flu bugs and ambiguous truths, turning to other women for strength – those we meet in life and those who speak to us through time.
Publishing poems is a fragile enterprise. Presses committed to supporting poets rely on pre-order marketing to ensure that they can meet their costs. I hope that you will consider ordering a copy of this book, which comes with my deep love and gratitude. It will arrive at your home in early February.
Thanks to each one of you for your support for my work over many years. I hope that these poems will find their way into your hearts and companion you on your way, as the writing of them has mine.
Yours truly,
Kathleen
