Two years at an assisted living facility (as the primary caregiver of her favorite relative, a celebrated character actor) kept Judith Mary Gee at a very high emotional pitch.

Produktbeschreibung
Two years at an assisted living facility (as the primary caregiver of her favorite relative, a celebrated character actor) kept Judith Mary Gee at a very high emotional pitch. Following his passing, she returned to her own residence bearing a grief bordering on breakdown. Finding solace in music, dance, and various other art forms, Gee gradually resumed practice of her own longtime craft, writing poetry. Gee's work has appeared in Chautauqua and is scheduled to appear in The New Guard, as well as in the second volume of Global Insides, an anthology of work created during the current pandemic. Her poems depict unthinkable loss (of love, limb, life, lucidity) resulting from war, disease, or occupation in startling-sometimes fantastical-images. A Sarah Lawrence College graduate, Gee was a protégé of literature professor Harold Wiener, whose tales of corresponding with John Galsworthy, dining with Greta Garbo and Rudolf Nureyev, and mentoring Lesley Gore were inspirational, amusing, and indelibly imprinted on her memory. Having studied poetry with Cynthia Macdonald (Gee was her teaching assistant), Jane Cooper, and Jean Valentine, she believes her writing skills assist in self-healing. Now sheltering in place, like many of you, Judith Mary Gee offers her Edges of Wanting.

Autorenporträt
Louisa May Alcott. William Butler Yeats. Yes! She likes the idea of using a name with three parts. She likes the look. So her writing is by Judith Mary Gee. (To friends, she is Judy.) Judith Mary Gee holds a bachelor's degree in liberal arts from Sarah Lawrence College, as well as certificates conferred by the Consortium of New York Geriatric Education Centers. This poet has earned her living mainly as a copy editor at publishing houses and as a figure model at art schools. The hardest lesson Gee has had to learn is that she cannot control everything.
