WORDS
I have always been inspired by words;
their color, their cadence and their impact.
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been compelled to offer them through my storytelling and my poetry but it is my poetry, perhaps that remains the most concise use of my words. Over the years, I have had the good fortune and honor of having some of my poems published in the most prestigious journals, like the New Yorker, Plum, the New Republic and many others, but it is here that I offer them to you dear readers. Set for the first time to video imagery and accompanied by my original music, I am so excited to have combined my art for your consideration and hopefully, your pleasure.
With love,
POETRY
SCREENPLAYS
Homes
Follow Martin, who, deprived of his mother at a young age, struggles to face visiting her for the first time, obtaining her release from the asylum where she has been confined for the last 24 years, and to help her create a new life outside.
Traitor, Patriot, General, Spy
For almost 50 years, General James Wilkinson, as greedy, duplicitous, and dishonest as he was charming, talented, and charismatic, interacted with the key people and events of early American history – presidents, generals, patriots, traitors, and explorers (including Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Madison, Burr, Benedict Arnold, and Meriwether Lewis) over the course of three wars. He unabashedly embezzled funds, pursued military glory, and conspired to seize a vast part of the U.S. territory while acting as Commander of the U.S. Army. All this led to several trials, court martials, and finally death in a Mexican opium den.
