"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." ~ Arthur Ashe

Here's to 2025!

Still so delighted...my poem "Mothers and Daughters...Hair!" published on the international website Motherrr.com, won a 2023 CT Press Club Award for Best Poem!


I'm having a wonderful time doing book signings for my award-winning book "This and That and an Ice Cream Sundae  - Reflections in poetry from age 86" 


I was thrilled to be invited back to the Westport Museum of Contemporary Art for the 5th time to do readings from my book! 


Thanks you to everyone who attended online or in person for the lecture I gave "It's Never Too Late!" 


It's true, it's never too late to fulfill your dreams. You may run into bumps but keep moving forward. I hope your 2025 is going well!


Warmly, Marlou

 I loved this book of poems, that encompassed the thoughtful, the furious, and the funny. The  poem about ice cream sundaes is evocative and poignant."
