In this Duckhorn's thirteenth published book of poems, she obviously shirks the number thirteen in her title, calling it Twelve plus One. No harm there. She writes her selected poems in six parts where the topics range from alien space crafts, time, heaven and ascension, and much more. Using her trademark knack for phrases in each poem, she is an ever-evolving, free-verse, modern poet. She loves people and wants to share her poems with the world. Marleen Rita Duckhorn is sixty-seven and lives in Southern California.
