Recently, I have received some feedback that people would like a short description of either the meaning behind, or the inspiration of my poems. While I do believe there is no true translation between poetry and prose, I will try to put a brief description of those poems for which I feel it is appropriate. Thank you for reading and please keep the feedback coming!

My name is Elizabeth. I love to write poetry, and I hope you enjoy my work. My published poetry may also be found in several compilation works including "Colors of Life", "The Best Poems and Poets of 2002" and Penn State's Literary Magazine. I am currently working on my first book, which I expect to take a couple of years. I believe each moment of life is one to cherish. People play a role in the story of our lives. Those who create passion in our hearts, of whatever form, develop the person that we lovingly title "self". A blend of all of these personalities shapes and molds how we view this world. And to all of those who have affected me in this way, Cheers! Enjoy! ~Elizabeth
