A Wife and a Husband With Penny Parker Klostermann

10/6/2017

Today, I have the pleasure of being featured on Penny Parker Klostermann's blog in her fabulous series "A Great Nephew and a Great Aunt." I have written an ekphrastic poem, "The Storm Queen," in response to an abstract painting of my husband's, Malcolm Deeley. Many thanks to Penny, friend and former crit partner in The Poet's Garage, for hosting us today! The post looks wonderful. Also, a shout out to my husband, Mal, who is not only a talented artist, but a poet, author, photographer, and the love of my life! Check out his books of poetry on Amazon!
