Born in Boston, where I lived for 26 years, and moved to Fairbanks, Alaska, where I have lived for 22 years. Earned a B.A. in Psychology from Harvard University and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Began singing at age three and writing at age seven. Play various instruments such as guitar, keyboard, recorder, autoharp, Appalachian dulcimer and folk harp. Performance background includes musical theatre, the folk scene and popular venues. Published works include various poems and articles over the course of more than thirty years. I consider the arts my yoga, my way of understanding and communicating with the world.
About the Lyrics:
"There Were Suddenly Two
Stones" comes from a series called "Random Book
Cues," part of a poetry volume called Oceansinger.
When this poem was written, I was writing poetry very prolifically,
and I began to seek inspiration anywhere I could find it. I would
open a book to a random page, pointing at a word or phrase, and
using that as the opening line. Two Stones was inspired
by a line from the book Poetry and Mysticism by Colin Wilson.
