I teach an online Memoir Over-50 Class at Pulitzer-prize winning poet Philip Schultz\u2019s Writers Studio<\/strong><\/p>

For a decade, I co-hosted Writers Read NYC,<\/strong> providing downtown performance venues for writers in The Cornelia Street Caf\u00e9, Sidewalk Caf\u00e9, Le Poisson Rouge and The Slipper Room.<\/p>

For ten years I taught a weekly Yoga for the Blind class at the Lighthouse Guild. “Fingertips Part Three with Thanks to Stevie Wonder,” and essay published in The Art of Touch,<\/strong> University of Georgia Press, 2024, is about this experience.<\/p>

I was trained as a book designer on the drawing table. Decades later working as a graphic designer, books remain my first love.\u00a0<\/span>Thank you to <\/span>The New York Public Library<\/b> for decades of free books, returned almost always on time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
