Welcome to my websiteThank you for visiting my website. I am a poet and essayist, grateful to be able to write full-time after a career first as a lawyer, and later as a teacher of creative writing. My latest book is called "Given Time - a mother-daughter cancer memoir." My mother died over 45 years ago from breast cancer. I was diagnosed in 2022 and had a successful lumpectomy. The poems in my book are a "call and response," where poems about my mother lead to poems about my journey. I hope this book shows the joy and inspiration that can result from living each moment as if it is your last. Available from FinishingLinePress.com, amazon, or other on-line retailers.
In addition to information about my writing and reading events, I share what I have learned as a woman in 12-step recovery in "Beneath the Steps: A Writing Guide for 12-step Recovery" combines my recovery story, poems I have written based on the 12 steps and writing prompts to guide others in recovery in creative writing. See "Recovery Writing" on this site. My weekly essays about reading, writing and real life appear at https://christinebeck.substack.com. |
