The Wednesday Poems Betty Winkler

These poems explore and express emotional depths of familial bonds, memory, resiliency and transformation. Written with minimalistic words and structure, they layer emotions, ideas and word-images. Nature's solacing power winds throughout the poems that are more about exultations than expirations. They were written during a severe illness and subsequent death of a loved one and are presented in mostly chronological order. The author is an art therapist, visual artist, poet and educator.
