Thank you for taking the time to visit. It makes me happy to know that there are folks out there who occasionally read my poetry — and even happier when I hear from them. I wonder who you are and what you think.
As for me, in a nutshell … born and raised in New Hampshire as one of nine siblings, I left for a year abroad in Paris with Middlebury College (MA French ’89) and, well, never got around to moving back. Poetry in English has remained my linguistic refuge throughout years and years in France, China, and Switzerland, where I’ve always either studied or taught.
Regarding my poetry, and to my amazement, over 30 of my poems have been pubished in various literary journals and anthologies, Naomi Shihab Nye granted me a Geneva Writers’ Literary Prize in 2017, and Billy Collins has read two of my poems on The Poetry Broadcast. But that’s enough bragging. Over to you.

PS My married name, Boquet, is Belgian and rhymes with “okay.” It isn’t floral. And, yes, one of my nicknames is Bucket … which rhymes with something else and happens to be my handle on instagram — lizbucket.
