Poems & Pictures

These forty-nine poems were written between 1963 and 1973, years of the author's young adulthood from high school through college, to young motherhood. They were highly influenced by the immense amount of reading she was required to do for both high school and college classes for majors in English literature and psychology, as well as personal experiences, the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement. The author, who is a published photographer and graphic artist, has illustrated the poems with her pictures (photos, drawings and other creations). None of the pictures were created to illustrate the poems they accompany, and were taken or created between 1967 and 2022, but are chosen add to the experience of the poems, which range from the deeply serious to capricious, from thoughtful to truly silly. To preserve the design of the pages, this ebook's pages are in a fixed format. The book is 67 pages long.
