Harmony River is a heartfelt collection of poetry that immerses the reader in the rhythm of nature, memory, and human emotion. What inspired you to write this particular collection of poems? 

I write each day. Every day.  If an inspiration comes, I will be at the keyboard to receive it. It does not often stop by to visit, so I have to go looking for it wherever it’s hiding. Making poems supports a daily purpose and an inner life worth living.

What was the biggest challenge you faced in putting together this poetry collection?

Revising until the words find their proper order., their proper euphony, and their most evocative value.

How has this poetry book changed you as a writer, or what did you learn about yourself through writing it?

Pleasure Boat Studio took what I do privately and placed it the public square.  Getting a readership makes a difference.  And I have learned a joy comes from sharing my work in book form.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Harmony River?

I hope a reader will sigh, smile, and feel a small part of the emotional punch I endeavor to impart in these poems.
