Author Description

Life Is Like A Cookie Jar is a book of poetry that captures common moments of everyday living and presents them to readers from a fresh, discerning perspective that is in turn surprising, delightful, humorous, whimsical, and inspiring. While it is often lighthearted it is also deeply thoughtful. Ordinary actions like "Folding Napkins," "Dusting," or the command to "Answer the Door" are transformed. There are poems for when you feel like dancing, "Dancing Body-Singing Heart," and poems for when you need "Spiritual Direction." There is celebration of "Joi deVivre" and acknowledgement of occasional moods of "Gloom and Doom" with a remedy for it. This poetry is optimistic whether "Collecting Lightning Bolts," "Romancing the Years," or "Bumping Heads With TIme."
