about: diane's poetry  Diane has been writing and creating art for over 20 years. Through her elegant and accessible use of language she offers both her readers and her yoga students a glimpse into a moment via a poem or an essay. She is fascinated by how we create sacred space, how we carry the sacred within us, and how we experience it in the moment. This quest to experience the sacred in palpable form has led her to circumambulate Mt Kailash in Tibet, to trek in the Himalayas, and to travel down the Amazon in a tiny boat to sit with Shamans in Ecuador’s jungles. v She has been an equally diligent traveler of the inner realms through her practice of yoga and sitting meditation and her ecstatic dance practice. All of which have led her home. Literally. Some of her greatest moments have been right here in her own backyard. The search for the sacred pointed back to home and to finding contentment in the small moments, the in between moments of life, the ones we tend to discount or throw away: watching the spider make her web, seeing the sunflowers wither and fade at summer’s end, washing the dishes, sitting with her cat. Through her poetry and essays she hopes to inspire others to live the simple moments with passion and love. Diane began her writing career at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in 1980. She soon found she was not cut out to be a journalist like both her parents had been as she preferred to wander off in metaphor and descriptive language and couldn’t stick to the who, what, where, why and when to write the news stories. She’s been writing her whole life in one form or another, but is just now bringing her poetry out into the world. In 2009 she created poemcards™ which combine her art and poetry in postcard form and can be seen and purchased here on her website. For the past several years she has been working on her first book of poetry, Walkabout, due out in 2011. Diane’s poetry has been published in the Spokesman-Review and will be published in 2010 in Pisgah Review as well as Diverse Voices Quarterly. She holds a Master’s in Arts and Consciousness from JFK University. Notify me when Diane’s first poetry book, ‘Walkabout’, is out |
