Hello!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome, and thanks for visiting my website.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to report that a new book about land and language is taking shape. I love the process and will do my best to report as chapters appear. My most recent chapters are about scratch paper and stealing words.<\/p>\n

\"poemcrazy_cover_small\"<\/a>poemcrazy: freeing your life with words <\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, poemcrazy: freeing your life with words<\/em> (in a 26th printing!) has a life of its own and continues to bring surprise and delight into my world. It may well have brought you here today! \u00a0 Poemcrazy<\/em> is now available as an audiobook from Audible.com.<\/p>\n

Listen to me\u00a0reading poemcrazy<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"foolsgold\"<\/a>Foolsgold: Making Something from Nothing (and freeing your creative process) <\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Foolsgold<\/em> seems to help people loosen up and encourage their hidden artist to come out to play.<\/p>\n

\n

\"bathing_with_ants_cover_small\"<\/a>Bathing with Ants <\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Bathing with Ants<\/em> (my small chapbook of poems) has invited a trail of Argentinian ants into my house. Be careful what you name your books! Luckily these ants don\u2019t bite and for now my kitchen is immaculate.<\/p>\n

If possible, support a local bookstore and order books there. You might suggest they order several copies! Or if you want to order online, check out Lyon Books or Barnes and Noble online.<\/p>\n

For more information on each of my three books, click on the book links<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

New workshops are being scheduled in northern California this winter and spring. Check the calendar for times and places.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to visit your town, local library, living room (or kitchen!) for a workshop from two hours to two days. Contact me for creative play\/writing evening, day or weekend retreats. Have pens (plus fool\u2019s tools) will travel! My rates are reasonable (and flexible). I love to work with all ages and levels.<\/p>\n

I appreciate your comments and notes. Contact me any time<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
