Appetizer

Present to the light
my heart opens fully
like an artichoke
perfectly steamed.

About Me

Judy Shepps Battle: New Jersey, United States; Judy Shepps Battle has been writing poems long before she became a psychotherapist and sociology professor at Rutgers University. Widely published both in the USA and abroad during the Sixties and Seventies, she deferred publishing to concentrate on career and family. Thanks to her tenacious muse, she continued to write during the next three decades filling a file cabinet with scrawled and typewritten poems that are now being organized into chapbooks and individual submissions. This blog is part of her return to active participation in the writing community. She can't think of a better way to spend her retirement. In the past six months, her poems have been accepted in a variety of publications including A Handful of Stones; All Things Girl; Amphibi.us; Ascent Aspirations; Barnwood Press; Battered Suitcase; Breadcrumb Scabs; Burning Wood; Caper Literary Journal; Epiphany Magazine; Folly Magazine; Joyful; Leaf Garden Press; LITSNACK; Message in a Bottle; Pemmica Press; Raleigh Review; Rusty Truck; Short, Fast and Deadly; The Write Room, Wilderness House Literary Review and Write from Wrong.
