    About this ebook

    Bartholomews home is located in Northern California with its diverse peoples and geography ranging from the sandy beaches of the Pacific Coast to the rugged snowcapped Sierra Nevada mountains in the east. This is where she lives, breathes and continues the journey of poetry and short stories from her heart, mind and life with her second book. Hopefully, readers will find words and images to see something of themselves or others through her eyes alone within Long Story Short Deux.

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
