As the author of My Spinning Place, I am honored to share with you this collection of poems—a tapestry woven from moments of reflection, inspiration, and exploration. This body of work represents a journey through the landscapes of human experience, crossing borders both literal and metaphorical. Each poem within these pages speaks to the ways in which boundaries shape us, connect us, and reveal the common threads that define our shared humanity.

The purpose of this collection is to invite you into this dialogue—a conversation about timelessness and transience, artifice and nature, joy and sorrow. Through these poems, I hope to offer you a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of life as seen through my eyes. It is my deepest wish that these words resonate with your own experiences and perspectives, sparking reflection and connection.
