A collection of poems and memoirs from a longtime resident of Staten Island, New York.

Her stories bring us back to a Fourth of July celebration and a day at the beach from the 1930's.

Her poems explore aging, nature and the metaphysical.

From The Moon Goes Sailing By

Interior age is a nuisance--the sun is shining,
the air a fragrance and the world is up for grabs--until locked knees prevent arising! But take your time--wear the new outfit today--should be interesting--lots of new folk and always long-time friends--lucky the hairdresser was in--so everything's set--Let's go--A glance in the mirror and Ye Gods! Not that old!
Literal age stares back.
