Without You Is the Moon

I never got tired of telling my Mother how much I loved her. This book of poems attempts to show the intense love of a daughter for her Mother. I hope to give the reader words he or she might feel belongs to them to describe their love for their own mother. The greatest aim of this book is as a memorial to a unique, wonderful woman.
My Mother had moved to San Francisco in her 20's in the 1950s. She wanted art, music, and theatre. When these poems were written, I wasn't consciously trying to be a great poet. I just wanted to make my Mother smile.
