Here she discusses how she went from raising children in Sayville to teaching poetry in schools (Alligators, Monsters & Cool School Poems), researching dyslexia (The Upside Down Kids written with Dr. Harold N. Levinson)  and swimming with dolphins (Top Fin.)  She also discusses the writing process – refining concepts, finding the right publisher, and ignoring trends in favor of your own ideas.  You’ll hear her read some of her poems and the picture book I Don’t Want to Go, revealing at the same time the secret to Grandpa’s super special tomato sauce.
