Writing for the Wild
With 30 years of professional experience in conservation, I provide wildlife conservation writing and editing, strategic planning, and program management services. I also offer inspiring nature poetry readings
and mindful qigong classes. Please browse my site for more information.
As a writer, I feel called to give voice to the insights and inspiration that arrive when I am attentive to other beings, the land, the wind, the water---all that is wild. My poetry and essays honor the stories and wisdom of wild nature and its inhabitants, and the nourishment and fortitude I receive in their company.

"All That Sustains is a gift of profound gratitude from the poet to the wonders and abundance of nature---yes, even as it is 'red in tooth and claw,' Gather this book in your arms and follow it through the seasons to the inner and outer worlds of a keen naturalist-poet who speaks of her place among creatures, land, water, what lives, what dies, and what matters. And in the way of a fine field guide, you will be led to identify and praise more clearly your own."
