Autorenporträt
After a successful career in German and Comparative Literature, Ingrid put aside academia, but kept her love of poetry, especially Mary Oliver and Rainer Maria Rilke. Her encore career as a veterinary technician, ministering to shelter animals at local humane societies, has led her to become a licensed wildlife rehabilitator specializing in waterfowl. On her daily walks, Ingrid observes the natural world, often pausing to enter the stillness beneath a tree beside a lake, stream or river, becoming as much a part of the natural world as the breeze, a rock, or a cloud. Her response to the vibrant natural world is to write poetry, capturing the details that inspire her, the impressions that touch her heart and weaving them into the fabric of her life.
