Summary

"Winter of My Life is a collection of poems taking the reader through the author's life as a child in a large family on a farm with a mother who insisted that she would go to college. Even during a phase of playing 45's and dancing to Buddy Holly and Elvis, riding in her girlfriend's boyfriend's hot rod car or smoking cigarettes and looking for boys in her high school years she made the honor roll and got a scholarship to college. She got married young to the boy who taught her biology lessons in the front seat of his souped-up Studebaker, got a Bachelor's degree and a teaching job. It was in graduate school after love-ins, sit-ins, anti war protests, and having a daughter that she became a feminist. Much of the collection centers on divorce, single parenting her daughter like marionettes dancing on their own little stage, interspersed with memories of her parents. Seeing the beautiful woman her mother is as she watches her dying. And throughout are images of the natural world around her -- the great blue herons, the mockingbirds, the Royal Poinciana, the coral reef, the osprey who returns every year to the canal outside her window and of course, the ocean to which she refers again and again. She looks back not with nostalgia or regret but with joy and appreciation for a long life well lived"-- Provided by publisher.
