My Life Is A Poem Being Written

About the Book

This book of poems was written over the course of my adult life after I had had my daughter, completed my PhD (NYU '91) and begun teaching. They document my pain, joy, angst and struggles living with MS and creating a fulfilling work, family life and personal life. It is my memoir. I hope it is inspirational.
