When I retired from teaching (third grade through college) I took up pad and pen, fired up my computer, and wrote poetry. My work has appeared in Poetry, Grand Street, Paris Review, Missouri Review, and other publications. A poem of mine was accepted by Seamus Heaney when he edited the Arvon competition anthology.
