I live in the Southern Gulf Islands of British Columbia, surrounded by the Salish Sea and the traditional lands of the W̱SÁNEĆ people. With over 25 years of experience as an educator, I have learned the value of listening closely, noticing what matters, and holding space for others.
Typewriter Poetry grew from my love of words and the joy of connecting with people in the moment. With a vintage typewriter and a few minutes of quiet conversation, I create intuitive poems that capture a memory, a feeling, or an experience…something that can be carried long after the encounter. They are little love letters. This practice is as much about listening as it is about writing…a pause, a noticing, an opening to what stirs beneath the surface. Each poem is typed with care, a simple thread that touches something true, real, and unforgettable.
