Along River Road, April 2009 - One of my favorite iPhone photos from the many I’ve taken of the Delaware River over the years. I was a passenger in our family car when I snapped this image.
““...and then there were days when I yearned to be part of a writing community. And once I set my intentions on finding one, everything changed.””

Make Space explores the complexities of loss, family ties, and resiliency. The poems in this collection speak to the wisdom grief has to impart to us, as well as to the kinship we form with it.
