When she lost her sight at the age of 12, these qualities and writing poetry saved her from despair.Joan earned a B.A. in Education, a Master’s in Jewish Studies. She married, raised four lively children, worked as a Rehabilitation Teacher, and taught Hebrew and Judaics for over 15 years.Her first book of poetry, One With Willows, vividly expresses Joan’s child-like joy. She considers her poems to be a kind of footpath for readers, an opening into that place of delight, an invitation to awaken childlike wonder for themselves.Joan’s words also reveal the invisible link between one human being and another, between humans and Nature, between the physical realm and the Spiritual. The idea of the Oneness of Creation flows through her work, the understanding of living in the world as a journey of discovery, of stepping into and between the various layers and levels of existence. Joan’s latest collection, One Glittering Wing, represents this kind of journey, specifically through her year long passage from the deep pain of her mother’s death toward reconciliation with Life.Joan currently lives in Oregon with her best friend, who also happens to be her husband.You can contact her at http://www.jewniquelymyself.comview less
