This is the vessel with which the poet sets out, and we, her readers, are along for the journey.

Autorenporträt
Patricia Nelson is a semi-retired attorney and environmentalist. She has worked with the "Activist" group of poets in California for many years. The Activist credo is that every word in a poem should be poetically "active," employing some kind of focused poetic technique-a principle not as self-evident as it might sound. The group often works with metaphoric imagery.
