VALLEY OF THE MOON is a collection of 47 poems that express the intricate space of love in different cycles just like the moon. In this valley the poet shares her intimate relationships of summer love while in this war we call life.
Wild and Free
like a Seneca Village Woman
speaking many languages
like the Iroquois taught us
Free like my mother's great grandmother,
a Cherokee Woman
Minding Gold in the mounds of Georgia
Free Like my great grandfather's mother,
a Choctaw Woman
Planting herb's to grow for summer
Free like my father's mother's
fathers’ mother, a Blackfoot Woman
we know our land like no other
Free like the turquoise we wear
to garner the truth
Free like the Seminole Women of Detroit
selling hair products
on Vernors and Seminole street
in Indian Village
supported by the Detroit Wives League
so.....we stay dangerously in love

PLANDEMIC is a brilliant arrangement of 60 poems in verse describing the health crises, medical emergency, and injustices caused by systematic unfair policies on top of a national emergency called the coronavirus.
PLANDEMIC
variant
changing genes;
23 times binding on cells
inmates infected with air
mentally physically isolated
mandated mask to house arrest
so fact checkers fact check the fact
chinese virus, corona virus, virus attacks
but now we have a new strain songbirds singing
fear rises of covid-23 dominating the planet in fear crises
as we shop, clear shelves of alcohol, tissue, and bleach
mandatory vaccination is the only solution seeked
travel restrictions forced testing crises on immune
systems in warp speed; people can’t breathe
taking vitamin d and c no hydromorphone
killing super antibodies, John Hollis gene
billionaire funded covid-19
plandemic
