Writing

I meant to be a writer and was spirited away in my youth by the fiddle, though I’ve managed to keep a pen as as well as a bow in my hand. My original songs are recorded on collections that include two Smithsonian anthologies, I’m revising a novel, compiling a poetry collection called “The Fiddlers Eye,” and writing a music memoir, “Heaven on Stage, Hell on Wheels.” The first two essays below are from the latter, which is proving a rich and humorous cornucopia of material.

The Franco-American Women’s Institute has published my poetry and essays in Moé pi toé, with several pieces also included in their 2016 anthology Heliotrope: French Heritage Women Create, edited by Rhea Coté Robbins.
