Dear Reader:

To experence the events in my life that inspired my research and poetry it's best to read this website in the order it was written. Click here to start at the beginning then click "next" at the bottom of each page to read them in order. I'm hoping you will read my website in this way as each page leads to the one that follows it and tells its own story. – DVC

It was this warm response to my new poetry website by a friend I met through my The Spirit of Notre Dame website that suggested this "Dear Reader" addition:

"I am enormously impressed by your latest writing. You must feel pleased to put your life, your spirituality, your feelings, etc., into words on paper so that there is a lovely permanent record of it. It is simply beautiful. Your strength and your love shine through on each page. There is so much to enjoy that although I have looked through it all quickly, I have read only the beginning sections carefully. You have had an interesting life. I found the stories of the three women captivating and I love the picture of your home and the story of how you and your husband designed and built it." – Jeane Knight
