(Pointing the Way)

“Pointing the Way” Poetry Anthology

From November 13, 2008 – December 10, 2009, I participated in a weekly writing exchange with a new friend I had just met at my first writing retreat. I had only written a total of 5 poems before starting this exchange.

During this time, I was grappling with essential life questions and deep uncertainty regarding the fate my marriage. Each volume contains the weekly prompts my friend and I used as inspiration, and my writing that resulted, during this “year of poetry”.

Each volume also contains a one-page memoir to provide some context to my weekly “offerings”.
