I have a BA in English and History, a Masters in Library and Information Science, and a Masters in English. I worked as a librarian at the University of Ottawa for 32 years before retiring in 2019. I’ve had a passion for words, literature, and the odyssey of writing ever since my teenage years. I’m very grateful to be able to indulge my passion in retirement. Writing about my family and childhood has been a cathartic experience for me, allowing me to look back from a long distance and recollect moments and feelings in tranquility and wonder. It’s an exploration of the past and the mysteries of time, the dynamics of memory, and an incantation of the soul. I’m happy to publish this collection as a free ebook to share my poems without any barriers, for anyone who could be interested. If these poems give you only a sliver of the joy and meaning that they have brought me, I will consider myself fortunate in sharing them.weniger sehen
