Tap Dancing Toward Bliss: Poems and Reflections

By Barbara Letts Blodgett

Tap Dancing Toward Bliss is a third collection of poems and reflections following Beach Grass and Light and Shadow. Nature and observations about people and human nature are frequent subjects of her writing. Poems included in this collection are about mangroves, egrets, doorways in France, rain, deer nibbling grass and apples, sailing, old and new friends, the breaking of day, and journeys. Some of the poems have the quality of a meditation, others of a story, inviting the reader in as onlooker, participant.

Barbara Letts Blodgett

Barbara Letts Blodgett has been a speech therapist, conference planner, and pastoral counselor. She has served as a consultant and a staff member in three Episcopal Dioceses, most recently providing pastoral care for the clergy. She is a wife, mother, and grandmother of seven. Born and raised in Washington, DC, she lived for thirty-three years in Connecticut and for the past seventeen years in the Brandywine Valley of Pennsylvania. Now retired, she spends winters in Florida and summers in Pennsylvania. She loves travel, Jungian thought, mystical writings, and the simplicity of oriental art and poetry. Her first book of poetry, Beach Grass, began as a response to the beauty of the landscape in Pennsylvania and Martha’s Vineyard and, like this second volume, included observations about life and human nature and the ways in which, at heart, we are all alike.
